It is well known that many beneficial microbiological processes, especially bacterial processes, take place naturally and each different process involves the activity of different species/genera of bacteria. The speed of catalysis in the relevant bacteria is, however, also dependent on prevailing

The present invention relates to a method of detecting the presence or absence, and if present the identity of a Cryptococcus pathogen in a biological sample from a subject. The invention also provides for a kit for the detection and identification of a Cryptococcus pathogen in a biological sample

Certain liquids, such as wine, are sensitive to contact with oxygen and may be degraded by oxidation, so winemakers usually take steps to limit or entirely prevent oxygen from contacting the wine. For example, inert gases may be used to displace oxygen. In reductive winemaking processes, oxygen is
