Defensins are a large and ancient family of host–defence peptides present across vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants, where they play a crucial role in innate immunity. Among them, big defensins represent a structurally distinctive subfamily characterized by a hydrophobic N‐terminal domain and a cysteine‐rich C‐terminal β‐defensin‐like domain. Here,

Isolation and Characterization of Streptococcus agalactiae Bacteriophage
Temperate and virulent phages are known to occur in streptococci of groups A, C and D (Bradley & Kay, 1960; Brailsford & Hartman, 1968; Brock, 1964; Follett, 1967; Kjems, 1960; Rogers & Sarles, 1963). No phage has been reported for group B streptococci; we report the isolation of such a phage and give some of its properties.

Lecanicillium aphanocladii: a biocontrol agent against insect pests and phytopathogens
Recent research findings on the biocontrol potential of Lecanicillium aphanocladii fungus against insect‐pests and plant diseases were highlighted. This review indicates that several L. aphanocladii strains show great potential to be developed as multipurpose biocontrol agents active against several insect‐pests, plant diseases and plant parasitic ...
