Preliminary Observations on Zelus Obscuridorsis (Stål) (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) as Predator of the Corn Leafhopper (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) in Argentina [PDF]
, 2015 The corn leafhopper Dalbulus maidis (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), is an important corn pest in most of tropical and subtropical America. This leafhopper has a rich natural enemy complex of which parasitoids and pathogens are the most studied; knowledge on ...

Evaluation of the biocontrol activity of Frateuria defendens-derived metabolites against mollicutes
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022 Frateuria defendens is a candidate biocontrol agent that has been shown to reduce phytoplasma-related disease symptoms in grapevines and periwinkle plants. While a crude filtrate prepared from F.

The Motility of Mollicutes [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2003 Recent experiments show that the conformation of filament proteins play a role in the motility and morphology of many different types of bacteria. Conformational changes in the protein subunits may produce forces to drive propulsion and cell division. Here we present a molecular mechanism by which these forces can drive cell motion.

Permanent residents or temporary lodgers: characterizing intracellular bacterial communities in the siphonous green alga Bryopsis [PDF]
, 2013 The ecological success of giant celled, siphonous green algae in coastal habitats has repeatedly been linked to endophytic bacteria living within the cytoplasm of the hosts.
