Transformation of Dibenzo-p-Dioxin by Pseudomonas sp. Strain HH69.

abstract：:Noroviruses (NoV) annually cause millions of cases of gastrointestinal disease in the United States. NoV are associated with raw shellfish outbreaks, particularly oysters, which are thought to bioaccumulate NoV particles during the filter-feeding process. NoV outbreaks, however, have also been known to occur from othe...
