Apphcations include ka olin clay dewatering, separation of fish oils from press Hquor, starch and gluten concentration, clarification of wet-process phosphoric acid, tar sands, and concentrations of yeast, bacteria, and fungi from growth media in protein synthesis (14). 

Fungi are microscopic nonphotosynthetic plants which include in their classification yeast and molds. Yeasts have a commercial value as they are used for fermentation operations in distilling and brewing. When anaerobic conditions exist, yeasts metabolize sugar, manufacturing alcohol from the synthesis of new cells. Alcohol... 

Group 2 includes some 80 sesquiterpene trichothecenes, which are particularly associated with fungi belonging to the group Fusarium. Fusarium species are widely known both as plant pathogens and contaminants of stored foods snch as maize. Trichothecenes are strong inhibitors of protein synthesis in mammalian cells. There have been many incidents of poisoning of farm animals cansed by contamination of their food by these componnds. 

However, important as the /3-lactams are, they are but one of mai r families of anhbiotics (Chapter 5). Furthermore, most industrial microorganisms used to make j8-lactams are fungi this is atypical of anhbiotics as a whole where bacteria, particularly Streptomyces spp., predominate. Chapter 5 and some of the further reading at the end of this chapter provide the broad perspechve, including informahon on those anribiohcs made by total or partial chemical synthesis, against which this present account with its necessarily selechve subject matter should be read.
