Impact Des Rejets Bruts Sur Le Littoral Et La Population Riveraine (Omn.Univ.Europ.)
by Moubarrad-F
This reference is designed to meet the practical needs of winery personnel working in the areas of micobiological surveillance and quality control. It addresses "real world" problems, such as the identification and enumeration of micro-organisms and their impact on production and stability. For each topic, discussions provide the necessary background information and detailed, step-by-step laboratory procedures. The author also discusses the interpretation of results (including relevant statistic...
This volume is envisioned as a resource for researchers working with beneficial and harmful groups of bacteria associated with crop plants. The book is divided into two parts, with Part I on beneficial bacteria including chapters on symbiotic nitrogen fixers and rhizosphere bacteria. The second part consists of detailed descriptions of 8 genera of plant pathogenic bacteria, including Agrobacterium and Herbaspirillum. Each chapter covers terminology, molecular phylogeny and more. soft-rot, Pseudo...

Pectins and Pectinases (Progress in Biotechnology)
by J Visser and A G Voragen
These proceedings cover the complete spectrum from meolecular biology to the application of pectins and pectinases, reflecting the current status of research in the field and providing a reference to the topic. The text should be of interest to those working in the fields of food science, plant physiology; plant biochemistry, plant pathology, enzymology, nutrition and plant breeding.
Fundamental Food Microbiology, Fourth Edition
by Bibek Ray and Arun Bhunia
Microorganisms play an important role in the maintenance of the ecosystem structure and function. Bacteria constitute the major part of the microorganisms and possess tremendous potential in many important applications from environmental clean up to the drug discovery. Much advancement has been taken place in the field of research on bacterial systems. This book summarizes the experimental setups required for applied microbiological studies. Important background information, representative resul...
Mimivirus
by Frederic P Miller, Agnes F Vandome, and John McBrewster
When phagocytes are exposed to a number of different stimuli, they undergo dra- matic changes in the way they process oxygen. Oxygen uptake increases markedly, frequently more than 50-fold; the phagocytes begin to produce large quantities of superoxide and hydrogen peroxide; and they immediately begin to metabolize large amounts of glucose by way of the hexose monophosphate shunt. This series of changes has become known as the respiratory burst. It was first believed that the major function of t...
Soil Biology is a state-of-the art review focusing on the linkage between biological processes that occur in the soil and their impact on soil quality. Topics considered include the microbial ecology of conservation management systems, dynamic processes of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizae, earthworms and soil fauna, microbial processes in the soil, and the degradation of pesticides through microbial processes. The book will interest soil scientists, microbiologists, agronomists, and soil ecolog...
