Books

This book contains 19 chapters focusing on the role of different microorganisms, such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, mites and predatory nematodes as biological control agents of plant parasitic nematodes. The distribution, virulence, survival biology, formulation, safe applicatio…

Biocontrol Agents of Phytonematodes

by Askary, T. H., Martinelli, P. R. P.

0 Type: Book

Highlighting the use of biocontrol agents as an alternative to chemical pesticides in the management of plant parasitic nematodes, this book reviews the current progress and developments in the field. Tactful and successful exploitation of each biocontrol agent, i.e. nematophago…

Metabolism and bacterial pathogenesis

0 Type: Book

In the 1980's, Rolf Freter, a true pioneer in the field of intestinal colonization, concluded that although several factors could theoretically contribute to a microorganism's ability to colonize the intestinal ecosystem, effective competition for nutrients is paramount to succe…

Bacterial pili: structure, synthesis, and role in disease

fromAdvances in molecular and cellular microbiology

0 Type: Book

Bacterial pili play important roles as environmental sensors, in host colonization and in biofilm formation, enabling bacteria to interact with the environment, with surfaces and with other bacteria and host cells. Most bacteria, both Gram positive and Gram negative, and almost …
