After some major reworking of our latest manuscript I am finally happy to announce that it was accepted and is now in press. Check out the STOTEN website – I will let you know, when it is available online. Here is the final title:
V. Cote, G. Kos, R. Mortazavi, P. A. Ariya, A Study of the Microbial Transformation of Malonic Acid and the Fungal Metabolites Produced “de novo” by Three Airborne Fungi, Science of the Total Environment (in press).
Paternity leave? Sort of … reviewer comments from a manuscript that I have submitted in January have now arrived:
V. Cote, G. Kos and P. A. Ariya, A Study of the Microbial Transformation of Malonic Acid and the Fungal Metabolites Produced “de novo” by Three Airborne Fungi: Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, and Penicillium chrysogenum, Science of the Total Environment (2007, submitted)
I have to do a minor revision – not bad, most comments are very minor, but useful to improve the clarity of the text. There were no objections concerning the science and general framework of the manuscript, so this should be easy. I have to do the revision within 6 weeks to avoid a resubmission.
