Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus 100 and B. stolpii UKi-2 each produce
two extracellular proteases which attack Azocoll (collagen)
while B. starrii A3.12 produces at least four such proteolytic
enzymes. Under standard growth and assay conditions each Bdellovibrio
species produces a unique amount of proteolytic activity. The
decreasing order of enzyme units was...
The last two decades have seen many new continuum models for

The life history of the strawberry root weevil, Otiorhynchus ovatus (L.), on peppermint was studied in the Willamette Valley of Oregon to provide the information necessary to develop effective control measures. Adult weevils emerged from the soil from late May until mid- June and were active in the field until...
