Article Synopsis
- Biostimulating native microbes using fertilizers has been shown to significantly accelerate the biodegradation of synthetic crude oil in wetland environments.
- Researchers conducted experiments by exposing sediment microcosms to various conditions and found a marked increase in hydrocarbon-degrading enzymes in samples treated with both light synthetic crude oil and nutrients.
- The study highlights the effectiveness of nutrient amendments in enhancing the microbial community's capacity to degrade harmful volatile organic compounds, underscoring the potential for bioremediation strategies in freshwater ecosystems affected by oil spills.
Renal dysfunction and hyperglycemia in a renal transplant recipient.
Transpl Infect Dis
December 1999
Background: Acute rejection is a serious and frequent complication of renal transplantation, and its diagnosis is contingent on the invasive procedure of allograft biopsy. A noninvasive diagnostic test for rejection could improve the outcome of transplantation.
Methods: We obtained 24 urine specimens from 22 renal-allograft recipients with a biopsy-confirmed episode of acute rejection and 127 samples from 63 recipients without evidence of acute rejection.
Problem: The pathogenesis of long-term sequelae in Chlamydia trachomatis infection is poorly understood. While serology indicates previous chlamydial infection, culture studies are frequently negative. We wanted to know whether in chronic cases the bacterium is absent or persists in a dormant state where it evades detection.
