## Abstract Six bacterial cultures isolated from soil were capable of growing in the presence of methotrexate (MTX). Two strains, PFR‐1 and 3, developed resistance to 500 μg cm^−3^ MTX in the medium and produced elevated levels of the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (EC 1.5.1.3): 2580 and 2702 U dm^

Abstract A new method for isolation of methane oxidising bacteria (methanotrophs) is presented. Soil samples from a wetland area and a landfill were plated on polycarbonate membranes, which were incubated in a methane-air atmosphere using a non-sterile soil suspension as the medium. The membrane act
Organochlorines are greatly used, principally as herbicides, fungicides, wood preservatives, paint removers, solvents, etc. Apart from this, industrial efiluents from the chemical, petrochemical and paper industries, among others, contribute an enormous level of pollution in terms of biochemical and
