    Lederhos, Heidi
    Abstract:
    Symbioses are intimate interactions between two different organisms. In a pathogenic interaction, one organism benefits and the other is generally harmed; whereas in a mutualistic interaction, the members reciprocally benefit.

  • Characterizing novel bacterial isolates that inhibit the growth of gall-forming phytopathogenic bacteria

    Creator:
    Belcher, Michael S.
    Abstract:
    Agrobacterium tumefaciens and Rhodococcus fascians are plant pathogenic bacteria that can induce crown and leafy galls on plants, respectively. Infection by these bacteria results in disfigured, unsellable plants, leading to significant economic losses to the nursery industry. A. tumefaciens and R. fascians are capable of infecting a broad range of...
