Paclitaxel (PTX), sold under the brand name Taxol among others, is a chemotherapy medication used to treat a number of types of cancer. This includes ovarian cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, Kaposi sarcoma, cervical cancer, and pancreatic cancer. It is given by injection into a vein. There is also an albumin-bound formulation.
Micromonospora is a genus of bacteria of the family Micromonosporaceae. They are gram-positive, spore-forming, generally aerobic, and form a branched mycelium; they occur as saprotrophic forms in soil and water. Various species are sources of aminoglycoside antibiotics with spellings that end with -micin, such as gentamicin, unlike most other aminoglycoside names that end with -mycin.
Xylaria is a genus of ascomycetous fungi commonly found growing on dead wood. The name comes from the Greek xýlon meaning wood.
Phyllosticta is a genus of fungi. Many of the species in this genus are common and important plant pathogens. They typically infect the foliage and cause tannish-gray leaf spots with dark brown to purple borders. However, Phyllosticta may also infect fruit and stems. Yield loss is a common consequence of Phyllosticta infection.
Phellinus is a genus of fungi in the family Hymenochaetaceae. Many species cause white rot. Fruit bodies, which are found growing on wood, are resupinate, sessile, and perennial. The flesh is tough and woody or cork-like, and brown in color. Clamp connections are absent, and the skeletal hyphae are yellowish-brown.
Acrocercops is a genus of moths in the family Gracillariidae.
Acrocercops terminaliae is a moth of the family Gracillariidae. It is known from India.
Terminalia myriocarpa, the East Indian almond, is a tree species in the genus Terminalia found in Southeast Asia.
Tenuipalpus is genus of mites in the family Tenuipalpidae, containing the following species:
Agelanthus is a genus of Afrotropical plants in family Loranthaceae. They grow in trees, including Acacia and Combretum species, as hemiparasitic shrubs of varying sizes. The host plant is penetrated by a single haustorium, and the stems typically have swollen, flower-producing nodes. The flowers are often closely clustered (fascicled) with the five petals (pentamerous) fused into a tube (gamopetalous). The flower may have a swollen base and the tubes open along unilateral, V-shaped splits. The filaments remain spirally rolled inward when the flowers open, while the styles are inconspicuous, slender filaments that are somewhat thickened in the middle. Berries range from pink to orange and red in colour, and are around 1 cm in diameter.
Mesosini is a tribe of longhorn beetles of the Lamiinae subfamily.
Paripocregyes is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Paripocregyes brunneomaculatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1938.
Paripocregyes fuscovittatus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Stephan von Breuning in 1938.
Denticularia is a genus of ascomycete fungus. Its species are typically plant pathogens. Its taxonomy is unclear. It has been suggested to belong among the Mycosphaerellaceae, but this has not been proven. It is tentatively retained as a genus, awaiting further investigation via molecular sequencing.
Micromonospora terminaliae is a bacterium from the genus of Micromonospora which has been isolated from the stem of the plant Terminalia mucronata from Ubon Ratchathani in Thailand.
Dematochroma is a genus of leaf beetles in the subfamily Eumolpinae. It is mostly distributed in New Caledonia, though it is also found on Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island and Timor. It is possibly polyphyletic or paraphyletic.
