Spider venom glands store various novel neurotoxic acylpolyamines which present potent and irreversible inhibition of the glutamatergic synapses. We have developed a new highly sensitive analytical method to detect and characterize... more
Fifteen strains of Trichoderma belonging to 12 different species for potential use in biological control were examined for their ability to produce polypeptide antiobitics (peptaibols). Gas chromatography was used to detect the hydrolysis... more
Monk seals in Cape Blanc (Western Sahara coast) suffered a mass mortality during May–July 1997 which was attributed to a morbillivirus. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis on tissues of seals killed during the outbreak... more
The kinetics of the production of fusaproliferin by Fusarium subglutinans ITEM 2404 in maize and rice cultures was investigated at various incubation temperatures. The growth rate of F. subglutinans was highest at 20 degrees C and 25... more
In this study certain activities of solitary wasp venoms collected from the Suez Canal area (Bembix oculata, Dielis collaris, and Scolia erythrocephala) were investigated. The effects of these venoms on different types of muscles were... more
98 Stegelmeier et al. Figure 1. Senecio jacobaea (tansy ragwort) in the flower. have been published (see Cheeke and Pierson-Goeger, 1983; Craig et al., 1991, for reviews). Human poisonings have also been reported and there is a potential... more

A strain of Fusarium semitectum Berk. & Rav. from maize stalk rot in southern Italy produced bioactive metabolites when cultured on autoclaved rice kernels at room temperature for 4 weeks. The organic extracts of fungal culture... more
