Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can offer therapeutic benefits and provide value in neurophysiological research. One of the newer TMS paradigms is theta burst stimulation (TBS) which can be delivered in two patterns: continuous (cTBS - inducing LTD-like effects) and intermittent (iTBS - inducing LTP-like effects). This review paper aims to explore studies that have utilized TBS protocols over different areas of the cortex to study the neurophysiological functions and treatment of patients with schizophrenia.

An extracellular enzyme activity in the culture supernatant of the acarbose producer Actinoplanes sp. strain SE50 catalyzes the transfer of the acarviosyl moiety of acarbose to malto-oligosaccharides. This acarviosyl transferase (ATase) is encoded by a gene, acbD, in the putative biosynthetic gene cluster for the alpha-glucosidase inhibitor acarbose.

A microbial screening indicated that two fungal strains, Beauveria bassiana DSM 1344=ATCC 7159 and Cunninghamella elegans DSM 1908=ATCC 9245, as well as four bacterial strains belonging to the genus Streptomyces were able to hydroxylate 4,5-dianilinophthalimide (DAPH, CGP52411) to 4-(4'-hydroxyanilino)-5-anilinophthalimide. Cunninghamella elegans DSM 1908 turned out to be the most active biocatalyst and was also able to form the dihydroxy derivative, 4,5-bis(4'-hydroxyanilino)phthalimide. The reaction for the monohydroxylated biotransformation product was carried out on a preparative scale, and the culture conditions for the formation of 4-(4'-hydroxy- anilino)-5-anilinophthalimide with this strain were op-timized.
