Recent Advances in the Biocontrol of Nosemosis in Honey Bees (Apis mellifera L.)

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Nosemosis is a disease triggered by the single-celled spore-forming fungi Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae, which can cause extensive colony losses in honey bees (Apis mellifera L.). Fumagillin is an effective antibiotic treatment to control nosemosis, but

Functional Investigation of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacterial Communities in Sugarcane

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Plant microbiota are of great importance for host nutrition and health. As a C4 plant species with a high carbon fixation capacity, sugarcane also associates with beneficial microbes, though mechanisms underlying sugarcane root-associated community ...

The Hologenome Concept of Evolution: Medical Implications

Rambam Maimonides Medical Journal, 2019
All natural animals and plants are holobionts, consisting of the host and microbiome, which is composed of abundant and diverse microorganisms. Health and disease of holobionts depend as much on interactions between host and microbiome and within the ...

Floral traits affecting the transmission of beneficial and pathogenic pollinator-associated microbes

, 2021
Flowers provide resources for pollinators, and can also be transmission venues for beneficial or pathogenic pollinator-associated microbes. Floral traits could mediate transmission similarly for beneficial and pathogenic microbes, although some ...

Evidence for the plant recruitment of beneficial microbes to suppress soil‐borne pathogens

, 2021
An emerging experimental framework suggests that plants under biotic stress may actively seek help from soil microbes, but empirical evidence underlying such a ‘cry for help’ strategy is limited. We used integrated microbial community profiling, pathogen

Atmosphere: A Source of Pathogenic or Beneficial Microbes?

Atmosphere, 2012
The atmosphere has been described as one of the last frontiers of biological exploration on Earth. The composition of microbial communities in the atmosphere is still not well-defined, and taxonomic studies of bacterial diversity in the outdoor air have ...
