Phylogenetic analysis of the microbial populations in the wild herbivore gastrointestinal tract: insights into an unexplored niche
(2003)
At present, there is little information on the phylogenetic diversity of microbial species that inhabit the gastrointestinal tracts of wildlife. To increase understanding in this area, we initiated a characterization of ...
A panel of microsatellite and minisatellite markers for the characterisation of field isolates of Theileria parva
(2003)
Mini- and microsatellite sequences show high levels of variation and therefore provide excellent tools for both the genotyping and population genetic analysis of parasites. Herein we describe the identification of a panel ...

Isolation and characterization of Bacillus thuringiensis strains from soil samples from kakamega and Machakos districts in Kenya
(2003)
Twelve isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis were obtained from soil samples collected from farmers' fields in Kakamega and Machakos districts. Soil samples from Machakos yielded more B. thuringiensis isolates t han those ...

Environmental degradation through quarrying: a case study in Tala-Kangundo area, Central Kenya
(2003)
In the Tala-Kangundo area, located approximately 50 km ENE of Nairobi, Kenya, quarrying of
volcanic tuffs for building stone is causing a serious environmental degradation. Agricultural
land is being destroyed at an ...
Unusual, Strained Heterocycles: 3-Alkylidene-2-methyleneoxetanes from Morita-Baylis-Hillman-type Adducts
(© 2003 American Chemical Society, 2003)
[reaction: see text] 3-Alkylidene-2-methyleneoxetanes have been prepared by treating alpha-alkylidene-beta-lactones, derived from Morita-Baylis-Hillman-type adducts, with dimethyltitanocene. Preliminary studies of the ...
