Abstract: The present invention relates to the use of a compound (a), an oomycetes controlling fungicide having the structure element of formula I ##STR1## in which X is CH or N,in association witha compound (b), selected frm CYMOXANIL and Phosetyl-Al in combatting or preventing fungal diseases, and fungicidal composition comprising such compounds.

Abstract: Bactericidal composition and method for inhibiting and controlling the growth of the capsulated, facultative bacterium, Klebsiella pneumoniae, are disclosed. The composition comprises an amount, effective for the intended purpose, of 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol and 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilo propionamide. The method comprises administering between about 0.1 to about 200 parts of this combined treatment (based on one million parts of the desired aqueous system) to the particular water containing system for which treatment is desired.

Abstract: A novel class of compounds has been found to be effective in blocking cholesterol and neutral lipid synthesis in-vivo without adversely affecting energy metabolism, useful for the treatment of obesity, hyperlipidemia and maturity-onset diabetes. The active compounds have the general formula ##STR1## or in-vivo hydrolyzable functional derivatives of the carboxylic groups thereof,whereinR.sub.1 and R.sub.2 each independently represents an unsubstituted or substituted hydrocarbyl or hetercyclyl radical;X and Y each independently represents hydrogen, optionally substituted lower alkyl, halogen, cyano, carboxy, lower alkoxycarbonyl or carbamoyl; andQ represents a diradical consisting of a linear chain of 8 to 14 carbon atoms, one or more of which may be replaced by heteroatoms, said chain being optionally substituted by inert substituents and one or more of said carbon or heteratom chain members optionally forming part of a ring structure.

Abstract: Antimicrobial cation exchange compositions comprising a cation exchange resin having absorbed thereon an antimicrobial chosen from the class consisting of halocyanoacetamide and 2-acylamino-2-halo alkyl acetate antimicrobials. Said compositions are useful as sustained release antimicrobial compositions. In addition, said compositions can be used to simultaneously remove cations and microbes from an aqueous solution.

Abstract: The invention comprises a biocidal composition useful in treating industrial process waters to prevent and control the growth of gram-negative bacteria, which composition contains a synergistic mixture of 2-(p-hydroxyphenol) glyoxylohydroxymoyl chloride and 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide.
