The genome of a Far Eastern isolate of Diaporthe caulivora, a soybean fungal pathogen.

Diaporthe caulivora is an economically important fungal pathogen and a causal agent of soybean stem canker and seed decay. Here, the genome of a Russian Far Eastern isolate of D. caulivora was sequenced, assembled, and announced.

[Methods of reducing the amount of pediculocide residues on bed linens to safe levels].

The means for reducing the residue of organophosphorous and pyrethrin pediculicides on the fabric to safety levels have been developed due to the use of gas and liquid chromatography. The proposed procedures include linen washing after its pediculicidal treatment. Optimal conditions for the removal of the above substances from the fabric have been set forth.

[Experimental study of the immune response to swine liver urate oxidase].

An immune response to urate oxidase--an enzyme from pig liver was studied. Peculiarities of antibody formation were investigated in three animal species. It was shown that the scheme for repeated injections of the enzyme preparation had a marked effect on the intensity of humoral immune response.

[Urate oxidase from pig liver: biochemical and immunological properties].

A highly purified uratoxidase was isolated from the pig liver. The sedimentation coefficient of the enzyme was 6.96 S and the molecular weight was 122,000 +/- 4,000.
