description: This thesis examines the various ways in which a group of contemporary writers from African and Indian cultures address spiritual affairs within their fictions. The neutral terminology "supra-human" indicates that the analysis treats each worldview as an equally valid explanation of the "reality" of phenomena beyond that which is materially verifiable and, at the same time, highlights the pantheistic nature of the human and numinous relationships which underpins these texts. The investigation shows that the cultural symbols employed both structurally and semantically by R. K Narayan, Nuruddin Farah, Bessie Head, Ben Okri and Salman Rushdie in their narratives describe the tensions that arise between a culture's sense of continuity and the historical and political pressures for change generated by their respective postcolonial conditions. Thus, the narratives are concerned with the maintenance of personal and societal identity, the restoration of a holistic form of meaning and the healing of psychological disjunctures caused by colonial and, in some instances, postcolonial fragmentation. All processes are found to involve, in one way or another, a perceived intervention of supra-human powers. Narayan's The Guide and Farah's Close Sesame survey the lives of two distinct "holy" men whose deaths (or transitions into an after-life) prove to be beneficial for their respective communities. The use of dreams or altered states of consciousness as healing mechanisms frame Head and Okri's narratives. The trauma of Head's life experience, as portrayed in A Question of Power, resembles a shamanic initiation ritual while Okri's answer to the malaise of Nigerian politics in his abiku novels lies in people's efforts to acquire shamanic perceptual and thus healing powers. In Midnight's Children, a clowning Rushdie treads a tenuous path between an acceptance of and a resistance to all possibilities that involve supra-human explanations. He advocates a new sense of spirituality forged by art's mediation of secular and sacred ideas but he cannot finally divest himself of his clownish fear of absurdity. In spite of their diverse means and backgrounds, the writers demonstrate that the human impulse to explain the workings of the universe is invariably countered by a need to maintain the potential of mystery within human understanding. Finally, the thesis contends that supra-human ideas continue to exert a powerful influence on the human imagination.

description: Background: The global public health community has closely monitored the unfolding of the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic to best mitigate its impact on society. However, little attention has been given to the impact of this response on the environment. Antivirals and antibiotics prescribed to treat influenza are excreted into wastewater in a biologically active form, which presents a new and potentially significant ecotoxicologic challenge to microorganisms responsible for wastewater nutrient removal in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and receiving rivers. Objectives: We assessed the ecotoxicologic risks of a pandemic influenza medical response. Methods: To evaluate this risk, we coupled a global spatially structured epidemic model that simulates the quantities of antivirals and antibiotics used during an influenza pandemic of varying severity and a water quality model applied to the Thames catchment to determine predicted environmental concentrations. An additional model was then used to assess the effects of antibiotics on microorganisms in WWTPs and rivers. Results: Consistent with expectations, our model projected a mild pandemic to exhibit a negligible ecotoxicologic hazard. In a moderate and severe pandemic, we projected WWTP toxicity to vary between 0–14% and 5–32% potentially affected fraction (PAF), respectively, and river toxicity to vary between 0–14% and 0–30% PAF, respectively, where PAF is the fraction of microbial species predicted to be growth inhibited (lower and upper 95% reference range). Conclusions: The current medical response to pandemic influenza might result in the discharge of insufficiently treated wastewater into receiving rivers, thereby increasing the risk of eutrophication and contamination of drinking water abstraction points. Widespread drugs in the environment could hasten the generation of drug resistance. Our results highlight the need for empirical data on the effects of antibiotics and antiviral medications on WWTPs and freshwater ecotoxicity.

description: Antiviral provision remains the focus of many pandemic preparedness plans, however, there is considerable uncertainty regarding antiviral compliance rates. Here we employ a waste water epidemiology approach to estimate oseltamivir (TamifluH) compliance. Oseltamivir carboxylate (oseltamivir’s active metabolite) was recovered from two waste water treatment plant (WWTP) catchments within the United Kingdom at the peak of the autumnal wave of the 2009 Influenza A (H1N1)pdm09 pandemic. Predictions of oseltamivir consumption from detected levels were compared with two sources of national government statistics to derive compliance rates. Scenario and sensitivity analysis indicated between 3–4 and 120– 154 people were using oseltamivir during the study period in the two WWTP catchments and a compliance rate between 45–60%. With approximately half the collected antivirals going unused, there is a clear need to alter public health messages to improve compliance. We argue that a near real-time understanding of drug compliance at the scale of the waste water treatment plant (hundreds to millions of people) can potentially help public health messages become more timely, targeted, and demographically sensitive, while potentially leading to less mis- and un-used antiviral, less wastage and ultimately a more robust and efficacious pandemic preparedness plan.

description: В статье исследуются современные теоретические концепции экологической безопасности с точки зрения различных подходов, анализируется формирование и реализация концепции экологической безопасности в Российской Федерации на практике, приводится обоснование необходимости модернизации проводимой государственной экологической политики в России, формирования и развития экологического сознания и экологической культуры граждан. Цели: проанализировать существующие в настоящее время теоретические концепции экологической безопасности с позиции различных подходов, выявить проблемы в осуществлении Российской Федерацией политики в области обеспечения экологической безопасности. Методы: системный подход, обобщение, сравнительный анализ, исторический подход. Результаты. Проведен анализ современных концепций экологической безопасности в теоретическом аспекте. Автором представлено собственное понимание таких понятий, как экологическая безопасность и концепция экологической безопасности. В работе рассмотрены основные виды экологической безопасности: национальная, глобальная (всеобъемлющая, международная), а также экологическая безопасность индивидов. Проведен анализ формирования и осуществления концепции экологической безопасности в России в практическом аспекте. Сделано заключение о наличии серьезных пробелов в формировании и реализации высшими органами власти России экологической политики. Выводы. Концепция экологической безопасности закрепляется в различных нормативных актах, которые зачастую носят лишь декларативный характер. Политика государства является механизмом реализации положений данных документов в области обеспечения экологической безопасности. Полномочиями по защите окружающей среды должны обладать не только государство, но и проживающие на его территории люди. На сегодняшний день в России среди населения наблюдается эколого-политико-правовой нигилизм. Кроме того, в нашей стране существует большое количество пробелов в области эффективного осуществления экологической политики. В основном, такие проблемы носят экономический и юридический характер. Для успешного обеспечения экологической безопасности в России следует сосредоточиться на решении управленческих, организационных, политических и правовых проблем и заняться устранением законодательных пробелов.

description: The molecular mass distribution, amino acid composition and radical-scavenging activity of collagen hydrolysates prepared from collagen isolated from the sea cucumber Stichopus vastus were investigated. β and α1 chains of the collagen were successfully hydrolysed by trypsin. The molecular mass distribution of the hydrolysates ranged from 5 to 25 kDa, and they were rich in glycine, alanine, glutamate, proline and hydroxyproline residues. The hydrolysates exhibited excellent radical-scavenging activity. These results indicate that collagen hydrolysates from S. vastus can be used as a functional ingredient in food and nutraceutical products.

description: Современная спортивная деятельность представляет собой многоликий и структурно сложный феномен, и выражает не только состязательность, как ядро спортивной деятельности, но и множество других подсистем и областей, связанных с финансово-экономическими, духовно-политическими и нравственно-правовыми отношениями, включенными в глобальный процесс трансформации мира и человечества. Вследствие чего характер взаимоотношений спорта с другими элементами общественной структуры носит нелинейный и разноуровневый характер. Отношения спорта и политики выстраиваются под влиянием как политических, так и неполитических факторов. Политические факторы возникают при взаимодействии спортивной сферы со структурами власти и управления. Особую роль в этом процессе играет государство и осуществляемый им протекционизм, который заключается в установлении публично-правого статуса физкультурно-спортивных общественных организаций, включая целенаправленное покровительство организационно-юридических и социально-экономических основ спортивной деятельности. Другим каналом политического влияния выступают политические партии и движения, которые могут распространять на спортивную сферу пропаганду положительного (лояльного) либо отрицательного (неодобрительного) поведения и отношения к государственным и муниципальным образованиям, другим политическим, в частности оппозиционным, формированиям. Заинтересованность политических субъектов в спортивной сфере не случайна, поскольку последняя, обладая качеством «мягкой силы», может служить эффективным каналом решения внешних и внутренних проблем общества и его слоев, социально-политических объединений и общностей. Процессы взаимодействия политики и спорта находят непосредственное выражение в основополагающих направлениях деятельности государств, политической элиты, партий и общественно-политических движений через организацию, подготовку и проведение многочисленных и широкомасштабных спортивных соревнований. Таким образом, спорт превращается в кардинальный политический, социокультурный и финансово-экономический феномен.

description: В статье проведен анализ планов правительства КНР построения системы социального кредита, в рамках которой должна быть осуществлена интеграция баз данных, накопленных как органами власти, так и частными IT-компаниями. Показано, что внешняя реакция на создание системы социального кредита не совпадает с внутренней. За пределами Китая система социального кредита была воспринята как инструмент всеобъемлющего социального и политического надзора с применением искусственного интеллекта, социальных сетей, Интернета вещей и прочих новейших достижений в сфере информационных технологий. В самом Китае в системе социального кредита видят инструмент упреждающего управления через репутацию, призванный повысить уровень межличностного доверия, уровень доверия к власти и уровень управляемости общества. Воплощение данной системы на практике пока находится на уровне многочисленных (не менее 40) локальных пилотных проектов, в которых значительную роль играет усмотрение местных властей. Автор приходит к выводу, что всеобъемлющая система социального кредита пока является скорее пропагандистским проектом, вселяющим оптимизм в граждан КНР и порождающим дистопические страхи в окружающем мире.
Counterparts of ancient Egyptian maat in other cultures

description: This paper surveys potential counterparts of the ancient Egyptian concept of mAat (maat) from other cultures and summarises such cross-cultural studies as have already been completed. Its scope ranges from antiquity to the present day and across Europe, Africa, the Near East, India, China, Australia and the Americas. Paradigms that appear to approx-imate mAat are tabulated, along with ancillary terms that relate to corollaries (transcendent ideal states) and complements (manifestations in the quotidian world). No single paradigm is perfectly analogous to mAat. Some include negative elements or are predicated on a mechanistic/karmic law of retribution; others differ in cosmogonic primacy, ontological nature, eschatological aspects, importance to lifeways or the extent to which the paradigm is personified. Only Byzantium and two First Nations cultures possess a single word that seems to approximate the wide semantic spectrum of mAat; of these, only the First Nations paradigms could be considered foundational to the lifeways of the whole community.

description: Несмотря на позднее появление в Черной Африке, произведения Карла Маркса имеют важное значение для анализа особенностей исторического становления континента. Этот анализ требует правильного использования марксистских категорий. Эти категории должны быть развиты и обогащены в рамках, во многом отличающихся от европейских времен Маркса. Именно эту работу проделали Шейх Анта Диоп (1923-1986) и Амилкар Кабрал (1924-1975). Первый, египтолог, имел смелость сделать шаг по пути, проложенному основателями исторического материализма, чтобы пролить свет на цивилизации, которые до этого считались за пределами истории человечества; второй, политический лидер Национально-освободительного движения в Гвинее-Бисау и на островах Зеленого Мыса, отличался антидогматическим отношением к творчеству Маркса, что позволило ему обогатить это учение и вести победоносную освободительную борьбу в стране, реалии которой во многом отличаются от тех, которые позволили Марксу проанализировать капиталистическую систему его эпохи.

description: A river water microbial community was studied in response to perturbation with the monoterpene enantiomers R- and S-carvone. The microbial community structure and function was also evaluated after enantiomers exposure was switched. Microbial communities were evaluated by length heterogeneity PCR. The addition of R- and S-carvone enriched for a range of functionally different communities: enantiomer-selective, racemic and ones that contain both. After 5 days incubation, the R- and S-carvone treatments developed a range of dominant microbial communities, which were increasingly dissimilar from the ones in which no carvone degradation had taken place (R-values: R-carvone 0.743, S-carvone 0.5007). There was an increase in the evenness of the microbial community structure upon carvone depletion. After the cross-over, the rate of carvone utilization was significantly faster than after the first carvone addition (P=0.008) as demonstrated by concomitant carvone and oxygen depletion. The main R-degrading community (450–456 bp) appeared enantioselective and largely unable to degrade S-carvone, whereas the S-carvone-degrading community (502–508 bp) appeared to have racemic catabolic capacity. In conclusion, chemical perturbations, such as enantiomers, might generate a significant shift in the river microbial ecology that can have implications for the function of a river in both a spatial and temporal context.

description: В гибридном жанре статьи-информации рассматривается круг проблем, значимых для отечественной дискурсологии и тем или иным образом отражённых в докладах участников юбилейного заседания Ялтинского дискурсологического кружка. Проблемное поле дискурсологии представлено в виде 5 модулей. Критерии выбора программных модулей проясняются в процессе рассмотрения содержания каждого из них: новизна и актуальность, значимость для научного портфолио участников конференции, дискуссионность выдвигаемых идей, подходов и оценок. Модуль 1 «Медиалингвистика, медиастилистика, медиадискурсология» (предмет медиалингвистики, соотношение стиля и дискурса, дискурсы в цифровую эпоху). Модуль 2 «Эпоха поствремени, её отражение в современных дискурсах и дискурсивных практиках» (когнитивный резерв элемента посткак носителя значения исчерпанности). Модуль 3 «Поэтический дискурс: схождение проблем институализации» (стихотворный текст как когнитивный конструкт и социально проявленная коммуникация). Модуль 4 «Дискурс как территория фронтира» (возможности применения концепции фронтира в дискурсологии). Модуль 5 «Дискурсологическая терминосистема: преодоление несогласованности» (качественные изменения в области терминологии, возможности и условия достижения дефинитивного уровня). Описание дискурса в комплексе типологических характеристик согласуется с определённой теорией, ориентированной на представление в текстах разных «картин мира», но всегда с позиции производства нового знания. Перспективы развития дискурсологии участники юбилейного заседания видят в профессиональном внимании к насущным проблемам дискурсологии; в описании когнитивно-дискурсивных срезов, в которых происходят процессы реального речепроизводства; в усилении экспериментального сегмента в теориях дискурса; в необходимости прогнозировать изменения в жанрово-стилистической (в широком смысле нормативной) системе, в пределах которой организуется дискурс; в активизации междисциплинарных связей; в осуществлении интеграции учебных курсов для качественной подготовки специалистов-гуманитариев.

description: Mushroom consumption is a worldwide custom that continues to grow in popularity. On the other hand, foraging for wild mushrooms can lead to serious disease and even death if deadly mushrooms are accidentally consumed. Mushroom poisoning is difficult to diagnose and treat since the symptoms are similar to those of other disorders. In terms of chemistry, mushroom poisoning is associated with extraordinarily strong toxins, meaning that isolating and identifying toxins has substantial scientific relevance, especially in understanding the lethal components of toxic mushrooms. Most of these toxins exhibit exceptional physiological features that might help enhance chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, and pharmacology research. Despite the discovery of more than 100 poisons, several dangerous mushrooms remain unexplored. This review covers the chemistry (including chemical structures, complete synthesis, and biosynthesis), as well as the toxicology, namely the toxicokinetics, mechanisms of toxicology, and clinical toxicology of these poisons, in addition to the discussion of the development of their most effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies with the hopes of spurring additional studies, focusing on individual classes of toxins found in poisonous mushrooms such as amatoxins, gyromitrin, orellanine, and phallatoxins.

description: Water bubbles through the limestone in Mt Gambier, meanders through underground caves and tunnels and surfaces at the poorly named 'blue lake', which inexplicably turns to brilliant turquoise in the summer months. The subterranean water system produces enough timber, Kraft cheese, lamb and potatoes to make our drought-stricken regions green with envy. But this Australian town now has another rare and coveted resource: a community television channel. Bushvision, a not-for-profit association, received its trial licence in July 2005. It broadcasts 24/7 with four hours of fresh content per day, which it hopes to increase to eight hours by the end of the year. Eventually, the station plans to broadcast digitally across rural Australia as a community network, sourcing content from disparate towns – places that have more in common with each other than they do with their capital cities. It is a grand vision, underpinned by social enterprise and a keen awareness of what can happen when media participation is appropriately harnessed. [Introduction]

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Whitehead and Pythagoras

description: While the appeal of scientific materialism has been weakened by developments in theoretical physics, chemistry and biology, Pythagoreanism still attracts the allegiance of leading scientists and mathematicians. It is this doctrine that process philosophers must confront if they are to successfully defend their metaphysics. Peirce, Bergson and Whitehead were acutely aware of the challenge of Pythagoreanism, and attempted to circumvent it. The problem addressed by each of these thinkers was how to account for the success of mathematical physics if the world consists of creative processes. In this paper I critically examine the nature of the challenge posed by Pythagoreanism to process philosophy and examine the efforts by process philosophers, particularly Whitehead, to overcome it, and offer some suggestions for advancing these efforts.

The microbial community structure and function was also evaluated after enantiomers exposure was switched. Microbial communities were evaluated by length heterogeneity PCR. The addition of R- and S-carvone enriched for a range of functionally different communities: enantiomer-selective, racemic and ones that contain both. After 5 days incubation, the R- and S-carvone treatments developed a range of dominant microbial communities, which were increasingly dissimilar from the ones in which no carvone degradation had taken place (R-values: R-carvone 0.743, S-carvone 0.5007). There was an increase in the evenness of the microbial community structure upon carvone depletion. After the cross-over, the rate of carvone utilization was significantly faster than after the first carvone addition (P=0.008) as demonstrated by concomitant carvone and oxygen depletion. The main R-degrading community (450–456 bp) appeared enantioselective and largely unable to degrade S-carvone, whereas the S-carvone-degrading community (502–508 bp) appeared to have racemic catabolic capacity. In conclusion, chemical perturbations, such as enantiomers, might generate a significant shift in the river microbial ecology that can have implications for the function of a river in both a spatial and temporal context.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: The strong column/weak beam requirement is now widely accepted in the design of reinforced concrete (RC) frames to achieve good seismic performance. However, many existing RC frames violate this requirement as they were designed according to inadequate design codes (generally previous codes). In particular, RC frames designed according to the previous Chinese codes for seismic design are likely to violate this requirement as the contribution of a cast-in-place floor slab in tension is not included in assessing the moment capacity of the beam in negative bending. This paper proposes three promising beam weakening techniques in combination with FRP strengthening to achieve this strong column/weak beam hierarchy and presents the preliminary results of an ongoing study into the effectiveness of and design procedures for the proposed techniques.

description: With the fast-paced development of technology in today’s society, there has been emerging a shift from paper-based reading to digital online reading. While the benefits of exposure to print have been well-established in previous studies, how online reading may impact individuals’ literacy development is largely underexplored. The current study investigated if the amount of English reading experience on the Internet could predict EFL students’ lexical knowledge and reading comprehension ability. Participants were ninety-seven Vietnamese undergraduate students who were administered a website checklist and a vocabulary size test. Their reading comprehension scores were also collected as measures of their reading abilities. Descriptive statistics, hierarchical linear regression and structural equation modelling were utilized for data analysis. The results indicated that exposure to L2 online text was a significant predictor of the participants’ vocabulary size as well as their reading comprehension growth during a course of two years. Pedagogical implications are discussed.

description: Partial bioremediation of polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB)-contaminated soils has been achieved using bioaugmentation with PCB-degrading bacteria and earthworms. To further study the contribution of earthworms to bioremediation, an experiment was conducted in which the changes in indigenous and bioaugmented PCB-degrading bacteria were analyzed during treatment of contaminated soil using earthworms (Pheretima hawayana) alone or in combination with the PCB-degrading bacteria, Ralstonia eutrophus andRhodococcus sp. ACS. Bacteria used for bioaugmentation were induced with carvone and salicylic acid in culture and were repeatedly applied every 3–4 days to the surface of unmixed, 20-cm long soil columns containing 100 ppm Aroclor 1242. After 9 weeks of treatment, the soil bacterial communities were analyzed using PCR primers for the bph genes. Results showed that approximately 50% of the PCBs were removed in the top 9 cm using a combination of earthworms and bioaugmentation, whereas bioaugmentation or earthworms applied alone were effective only for removing PCBs from the top 3 cm of the soil columns. Enhanced removal of PCBs caused by earthworms was associated with an increase in the population size of culturable, indigenous biphenyl-degrading bacteria, and an increase in the level of the bphA and bphC genes. The results suggest that earthworms facilitate PCB bioremediation by enhancing the dispersal of PCB-degrading bacteria in bioaugmented columns, as well as providing environmental conditions that favor the growth and activity of indigenous PCB-degrading bacteria.

description: Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus is a widely distributed pathogen that causes ring rot of potato. Antimicrobial activity assays demonstrated that petroleum ether extracts from Athyrium sinense was a fraction with strong activity against C. michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus. The aim of this study was to determine the chemical compounds in this fraction, and to investigate the antimicrobial mechanism. The dominant components were palmitic acid (25.78%), neophytadiene (13.66%), linoleic acid (8.95%), oleic acid (8.20%), phloretic acid (7.48%), methyl sinapate (6.92%), e-11-hexadecen-1-ol (6.10%), 1-hexadecanol (5.41%), and stearic acid (2.87%). Electron micrographs showed that application of the petroleum ether extracts seriously altered the morphology of C. michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus. Release of alkaline phosphatase and leakage of intracellular soluble protein confirmed that the integrity of the cell membrane was destroyed. Furthermore, ATPase activity, intracellular DNA content, and cell membrane potential were all demonstrated to be inhibited. In addition, the petroleum ether extract penetrated through the damaged cell membrane, and subsequently disrupted the cell cycle of the bacteria. We concluded that the petroleum ether fraction of ethanolic Athyrium sinense extracts was effective to inhibit C. michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus by damaging the cell membrane, and could be used as a natural alternative for C. michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus control.

description: The community response of indigenous sandstone, chalk and limestone groundwater microorganisms to the addition of the commonly used herbicide isoproturon was examined. The addition of 100 microg l(-1) isoproturon generally caused an increase in species diversity determined by chemotaxonomic analysis (fatty methyl ester analysis) of isolates resulting from incubation of cultures at 18 degrees C for 4 days. Amongst the groundwater samples to which isoproturon was added, isoproturon degradation rates were correlated with increasing dominance of a few species. However, the changes in community profile associated with isoproturon degradation varied from site to site. Repeated sub-culturing with 100 microg l(-1) isoproturon and sterile groundwater was carried out to examine whether this level of pesticide could exert a selection pressure, and hence stimulate more rapid degradation. Significantly increased degradation was observed in a groundwater sample from the chalk, but not in sandstone, or limestone samples. The addition of filter-sterilised sandstone groundwater to bacteria on filter paper from slow degrading limestone sites significantly improved their degrading performance. The addition of filter-sterilised limestone groundwater to the sandstone bacteria reduced their degradation rate only slightly. The data suggested that the nature of the indigenous community does influence pesticide degradation in groundwater, but that the groundwater chemistry may also play a role.
