Environmental biotechnology market in a stagnant period, analysts say

Article Abstract:

A symposium sponsored by the Biotechnology Industry Organization called Environmental Biotech '96 on June 12-13, 1996, in Philadelphia, PA, concluded that the environmental biotechnology market has reached a plateau. Industry analyst Daniel W. Noble of Environmental Business International says the market has leveled off after posting a 9% growth in 1995 and will grow between 7.5% and 8% annually through 2000. He attributed the stagnation in bioremediation to owners of contaminated sites who are slow in acquiring and using bioremediation technologies to meet cleanup requirements.

New Cryptosporodium testing methods

Article Abstract:

The EPA has approved the use of the immunofluorescence assay method as a more efficient alternative for the detection of water borne pathogens such as Cryptosporidium sp. and Giardia sp. The microbial analytical testing method utilizes monoclonal antibodies for the detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts in water. The immunofluorescence technique will help establish the distribution and prevalence of water borne pathogens which causes gastrointestinal infections.
