Additional studies were undertaken on the nature of a nephrotoxic agent found in the culture filtrates of certain group A streptococci. A commercially available dehydrated medium proved satisfactory for the production of the active material. Gel filtration was used to divide polypeptide extracts, prepared from the dialyzable portion of culture filtrates, into two major fractions. One of these, representing the higher molecular weight components, contained most of the nephrotoxic activity as evidenced by the development of hypertension and acute glomerulonephritis in rabbits injected with this fraction.Physical and chemical studies indicated that the active fraction consisted of at least four polypeptide components separable by high voltage electrophoresis on paper. Automatic amino acid analysis of an acid hydrolysate of this fraction revealed 17 different amino acids. Carbohydrate was not detected by anthrone and orcinol tests.No relationship was established between this streptococcal nephrotoxic agent and other streptococcal constituents which have been implicated in acute glomerulonephritis.

Phanerochaete chrysosporium , Pycnoporus cinnabarinus ,and fungal isolates RCK-1 and RCK-3 were tested for their lignin degradation abilities when grown on wheat straw (WS) and Prosopis juliflora (PJ) under solid-state cultivation conditions. Fungal isolate RCK-1 degraded more lignin in WS (12.26% and 22.64%) and PJ (19.30% and 21.97%) and less holocellulose in WS (6.27% and 9.39%) and PJ (3.01% and 4.58%) after 10 and 20 days, respectively, than other fungi tested. Phanerochaete chrysosporium caused higher substrate mass loss and degraded more of holocellulosic content (WS: 55.67%; PJ: 48.89%) than lignin (WS: 18.89%; PJ: 20.20%) after 20 days. The fungal pretreatment of WS and PJ with a high-lignin-degrading and low-holocellulose-degrading fungus (fungal isolate RCK-1) for 10 days resulted in (i) reduction in acid load for hydrolysis of structural polysaccharides (from 3.5% to 2.5% in WS and from 4.5% to 2.5% in PJ), (ii) an increase in the release of fermentable sugars (from 30.27 to 40.82 g·L–1in WS and from 18.18 to 26.00 g·L–1in PJ), and (iii) a reduction in fermentation inhibitors (total phenolics) in acid hydrolysate of WS (from 1.31 to 0.63 g·L–1) and PJ (from 2.05 to 0.80 g·L–1). Ethanol yield and volumetric productivity from RCK-1-treated WS (0.48 g·g–1and 0.54 g·L–1·h–1, respectively) and PJ (0.46 g·g–1and 0.33 g·L–1·h–1, respectively) were higher than untreated WS (0.36 g·g–1and 0.30 g·L–1·h–1, respectively) and untreated PJ (0.42 g·g–1and 0.21 g·L–1·h–1, respectively).

An adult male developed shock some hours after the start of intravenous alimentation. The caval catheter, which had been inserted through the right subclavian vein, was later radiographically demonstrated to be in the pericardial sac. We reviewed the literature on this and other complications of caval catheters. From this information and our own experience we offer some suggestions for prevention and management of some of the complications of caval catheters.
