The Carnegie Institution was originally organized under the law governing" the organization of corporations in the District of Columbia. Owing to cer- tain limitations in the law, the Trustees deemed it desirable to obtain articles of incorporation from the Congress. Accordingly, articles of incorporation were prepared, submitted to the Congress, amended by the Congress, and enacted into statute by the Congress and the signature of the President. Organization under the new articles of incorporation was effected on May 1 8, 1904. Resolutions were passed electing the same Executive Committee and officers as those of the Carnegie Institution organized in 1902 and con- tinuing all instructions and authorizations given to the Executive Committee bv the old orgranization. Public No. 260. —An Act To incorporate the Carnegie Institution of Washington. Be it enacted by the Senate and Honse of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the persons following, being persons who are now trustees of the Carnegie Institution, namely, Alexander Agassiz, John S.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1997 NATIONAL ACADEMIES PRESS WASHINGTON D.C. Photo ca. 1926 ERNEST GEORGE MERRITT April 28, 1865–June 5, 1948 BY PAUL L. HARTMAN RNEST GEORGE MERRITT, emeritus professor of physics at ECornell University and long-time member of that de- partment and personification of American physics, died June 5, 1948, in Ithaca, New York, after a short illness. He was born April 28, 1865, (two weeks after Lincoln’s assassina- tion) in Indianapolis. As a youngster he already showed an inclination toward his adult vocations of editor and scien- tist. By the age of eight or so, in Indiana no less, he had founded and edited two journals, Sea Breeze, and its succes- sor, The Mountain Echo, which he also printed and bound; and he had obtained a modest telescope which he housed in his small observatory. The Indianapolis Journal reported on “the boy astronomer (whose) eager study of the stars may some day make him famous.” In high school Merritt showed a talent for mathematics, winning a small prize. After one year at Purdue he went to Cornell’s engineering school, graduating with a degree in mechanical engineering. When the mathematical and as- tronomical inclinations disappeared is not clear.

Ujazdowskie 4, 00-478 Warsaw, Poland 3 Department of Mycology Chair of Microbiology Jagiellonian University Medical College 18 Czysta Str, PL 31-121 Krakow, Poland * to whom correspondence should be addressed Abstract Fungi cause opportunistic, nosocomial, and community-acquired infections. Among fungal infections (mycoses) zygomycoses are exceptionally severe with mortality rate exceeding 50%. Immunocompromised hosts, transplant recipients, diabetic patients with uncontrolled keto-acidosis, high iron serum levels are at risk. Zygomycota are capable of infecting hosts immune to other filamentous fungi. The infection follows often a progressive pattern, with angioinvasion and metastases. Moreover, current antifungal therapy has often an unfavorable outcome. Zygomycota are resistant to some of the routinely used antifungals among them azoles (except posaconazole) and echinocandins. The typical treatment consists of surgical debridement of the infected tissues accompanied with amphotericin B administration. The latter has strong nephrotoxic side effects which make it not suitable for prophylaxis. Delayed administration of amphotericin and excision of mycelium containing tissues worsens survival prognoses. More than 30 species of Zygomycota are involved in human infections, among them Mucorales are the most abundant.

Additionally, a great deal of mostly misleading discussion is Focused also on the aggravation of the COVID-19 accrued impacts due to the white and yellow Fungal diseases. In addition to the knowledge of important risk factors, modes of spread, pathogenesis and host deFences, a critical discussion on the botanical insights into the main causative agents of mucormycosis in the current context is very imperative. Given above, in this paper: (i) general background of the mucormycosis and COVID-19 is briefly presented; (ii) overview oF Fungi is presented, the major beneficial and harmFul fungi are highlighted; and also the major ways of Fungal infections such as mycosis, mycotoxicosis, and mycetismus are enlightened; (iii) the major causative agents of mucormycosis

Read Full License Page 1/38 Abstract Our earlier paper had established the fact that new soil fungi known as Cunninghamella blakesleeana is potent enough to produce lovastatin signicantly. At present, there are no reports on the media optimization for the lovastatin production. Hence, the objective is to optimize the fermentation conditions for lovastatin production by Cunninghamella blakesleeana under Solid State fermentation (SSF) condition through screening the critical factors by one factor at a time and then, optimize the factors selected from screening using statistical approaches. SSF was carried using the pure culture of Cunninghamella blakesleeana KP780148.1 with wheat bran as substrate. Initial screening was performed for physical parameters, carbon sources and nitrogen sources and then optimized the selected parameters through PBD and BBD. Screening result indicated the optimum values of the analysed parameter for the maximal production of lovastatin by Cunninghamella blakesleeana were selected. Out of the nine factors MgSO4, (NH4)2SO4, pH and Incubation period were found to inuence the lovastatin production signicantly after PBD.

Biographical Memoir COPYRIGHT 1959 NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES WASHINGTON D.C. ALBERT FRANCIS BLAKESLEE November g, i8y^.-November 16, 1954 BY EDMUND W. SINNOTT N THE DEATH OF Albert Francis Blakeslee on November 16, 1954, I American botany lost one of its most notable leaders, a man re- markable not only for the high quality of his scientific attainments but also for the breadth of his interests and his friendly concern for the people around him. As a geneticist, he recognized the impor- tance of heredity in determining the character of an organism, but as one concerned for many years in the cultivation of plants, he also knew the necessity of good environment. He himself was fortunate in both these things, since he came from superior human stock and was brought up in surroundings conducive to the full development of his capacities. Blakeslee was born in Geneseo, New York, on November 9, 1874, in the home of his maternal grandfather. His father, Francis Durbin Blakeslee, was a Methodist minister and educator. Besides serving a number of churches, he had been principal of the East Greenwich (Rhode Island) Academy and of the Casenovia (New York) Semi- nary. His father's father was also a lifelong Methodist minister. Blakeslee's mother, Augusta Miranda Hubbard, was a remarkable woman, highly gifted and with a brilliant mind, and had a very great influence on the character of her son.

Digital Comprehensive Summaries of Uppsala Dissertations from the Faculty of Pharmacy 186. 46 pp. Uppsala: Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. ISBN 978-91-554-8906-9. This thesis describes the in vitro production of drug metabolites using fungi of the Cunninghamella species. The metabolites were characterized with mainly liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry using ion-trap and quadrupole-time-of-flight instruments. A fungal in vitro model has several advantages e.g., it is easily up-scaled and ethical problems associated with animal-based models are avoided. The metabolism of bupivacaine and the selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) S1, S4 and S24 by the fungi Cunninghamella elegans and Cunninghamella blakesleeana was investigated. The detected metabolites were compared with those formed in vitro and in vivo by human and horse and most phase I metabolites formed by mammals were also formed by the fungi.
