There are four classes of industrially important microorganisms: yeasts, molds, single-cell bacteria and actinomycetes. The yeasts and the molds are more highly developed; together they constitute the fungi. Organisms of this type are eukaryotic, that is, their cells, like the cells of plants and animals, have a membrane-enclosed nucleus and more than one chromosome; they also contain organelles such as mitochondria.... The single-cell bacteria and the actinomycetes, in contrast, are prokaryotic: they have no nuclear membrane or mitochondria, and they have only one chromosome. 3, record 1, English, - mold

Il existe quatre classes de microorganismes d'importance industrielle : les levures, les moisissures, les bactéries unicellulaires et les actinomycètes. Les levures et les moisissures sont des organismes supérieurs au point de vue évolutif : ces organismes sont des eucaryotes c'est-à-dire que leurs cellules, comme celles des plantes et des animaux, possèdent un noyau délimité par une membrane et plusieurs chromosomes; elles contiennent également des organites tels que les mitochondries. (...) Les Moisissures sont des champignons filamenteux qui forment un important groupe d'organismes eucaryotes dépourvus de chlorophylle; ils constituent, avec les levures unicellulaires, les Mycètes. 2, record 1, French, - moisissure

Other Clinical Uses : Limited studies have shown that amphotericin B powder for injection may be useful when administered by routes other than i. v. for the treatment of certain types of fungal infections : bladder irrigation and aerosol : Amphotericin B has also been administered by aerosol(nebulizer) for the treatment of pulmonary fungal infections. Eye Infections : During prolonged studies, amphotericin B was used in local administration for fungal eye infection. Ear infections : There is little evidence to support the efficacy of this product for this type of infection. Supplied : A sterile, lyophilized powder. 2, record 2, English, - amphotericin%20B
