[Increase of the detoxification potential of basidiomycetes by induction of laccase biosynthesis].

The effect of oxidoreductase inducers guaiacol and syringaldazine on the ability of Coriolus hirsutus, Coriolopsis fulvocinerea, Cerrena maxima, and cocultivated Coriolus hirsutus/Cerrena maxima to degrade atrazine in submerged cultures was studied. All the basidiomycetes reduced atrazine concentration with and without syringaldazine or guaiacol. The degree of atrazine degradation was higher in induced cultures (77-98% vs.

[Certain biochemical and physicochemical properties of the inducible form of extracellular laccase from basidiomycetes Coriolus hirsutus].

An inducible form of extracellular laccase (EC 1.14.18.

[Treatment effectiveness of patients with ocular tuberculosis at specialized sanatoria].

The outcomes of treatment of 2908 patients with ocular tuberculosis who were treated at the Vyborg-3, Krasnyi Val, and Plyos sanatoria in 1993 - 1995 are analyzed. These sanatoria used the common guide in evaluating the efficacy of treatment, namely a separate assessment of the outcomes of treatment of the underlying and concurrent diseases. There were no statistical significant differences in therapeutical efficiency at these sanatoria.
