Over the past 10 yr consumer satisfaction has gained widespread recognition as a measure of quality in many public sector services. This has become manifest in the NHS in the call by the 1983 NHS Management inquiry to ascertain how well the service i... Read More about Patient satisfaction: A valid concept?.

Microbial metabolism of xenobiotics: Fundamental and applied research (1994)
Journal Article
Singleton, I. (1994). Microbial metabolism of xenobiotics: Fundamental and applied research. Journal of Chemical Technology and Biotechnology, 59(1), 9-23. doi:10.1002/jctb.280590104

The ability of microorganisms to metabolise xenobiotic compounds has received much attention due to the environmental persistence and toxicity of these chemicals. The microbial degradation of xenobiotics is seen as a cost effective method of removing... Read More about Microbial metabolism of xenobiotics: Fundamental and applied research.

Complementary DNAs that encode two forms of the chicken -γ-aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptor β2 subunit have been isolated. These polypeptides differ by the presence (β2L) or absence (β2S) of 17 amino acids, which contain a possible target fo...
