Bacteria
1. Bacteria are unicellular organisms. Because they have no nucleus, the cells
are described as prokaryotic.
2. The three major basic shapes of bacteria are bacillus, coccus, and spiral.
3. Most bacteria have a peptidogly can cell wall; they divide by binary fission;
and they may possess flagella.
Fungi
1. Fungi (mushroom, molds, and yeasts) have eukaryotic cells (with a true
nucleus). Most fungi are multicellular.
Virus
Nematodes
BACTERIA:
1) Antibiotic effects
2) Antiviral effects
Viruses are another pathogen of which we are all aware. The common cold
is a viral infection, as is human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However,
viruses are much harder to treat and destroy than bacteria. To date, there is
no class of drugs known to destroy viruses completely, although there are
antiviral agents that prevent against the virus initially doing damage.
Some friendly bacteria have antiviral effects, they help prevent a viral
foothold from becoming a serious threat. Although the exact mechanism by
which these bacteria do this is not known, there have been a number of
laboratory tests that indicate that certain strains produce hydrogen peroxide,
which functions as a virus killer. In her book Probiotics, Nature’s Internal
Healers, Natasha Trenev documents several studies in which friendly
bacteria were used to inhibit the herpesvirus.
3) Anticancer effects
By now, most of us realize that diet can be a risk factor for cancer, a diet
high in animal fat and fried foods may contribute to a number of types of
cancer. One of the reasons for this may be because cancer-causing
substances are produced in the body from the nitrates used in the curing of
luncheon meats. Friendly bacteria have the ability to neutralize nitrates.
In 1987, Fernandes, et al., (FEMS Microbiology Reviews 46) listed ways that
friendly bacteria may destroy cancer:
4) Other benefits
In addition to these three benefits, friendly bacteria also have the ability to
1) Manufacture vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12, A, and K, and essential
fatty acids;
2) Aid in the digestive process by helping digest lactose (milk sugar) and
protein;
3) clean the intestinal tract, purify the colon, and promote regular bowel
movements;
2) Industrial
3) Cultured foods
4) Ecological role
Fungi that colonize the root zones of plants and surrounding soil can
be beneficial for plant growth. As the fungi enlarge and weave through
the root zones, they send threads, far from the roots, to colonize the
soil and produce water stable aggregates that link up as macro-
aggregates. This maximizes the percolation of moisture and air into
the root zones, improves soil structure and promotes subsurface plant
growth. Once colonization has occurred, the fungi suck up nutrients
that, in effect, improve the nutritional status of the plant and boost its
ability to resist stresses from drought and disease, as well as pests.
1) Medical
Adeno-associated virus
(AAV)
Used in gene therapy
to deliver beneficial
genes to human cells.
3) Environment
Scientists can use and manipulate the viral genome for insertion of
desirable genes into plants by using the viral lysogenic mechanism.
Virus infection mechanism and plant's response (the hypersensitive
response) can also be studied via virus.
NEMETODE:
1) Medical
Hookworm
Help from suffering multiple
sclerosis, Crohn's Disease
and diabetes through
Hookworm therapy.
2) Agriculture
Kill garden pests like cutworms, and pest nematodes, like the root-knot
nematode, which attack plants.
Example:-
Reduction in H. virescens adult emergence from soil under cotton
plants treated with S. riobravis.
S. carpocapsae help to control H. zea on corn plants.
Reduce the incidence of soil borne virus diseases, such as stem pitting in
stone fruit and union necrosis in apple.
Developing a better understanding of the role of nematodes in soil nutrient
cycling and environmental quality.
Characterizing and manipulating nematode biodiversity to contribute to
sustainable agriculture.
Biological control of insects and other pests, and some contribute to soil
fertility by helping cycle nutrients through the soil.
3) Other benefits
Easy to apply
Effective.
Harmless to children, pets, birds and wildlife.
Unlike many chemicals, can assist wildlife in combating pests without
posing a risk to wildlife itself.
Perfectly safe to use on food crops.
They come to you - just order from our nominated suppliers.
You get the same benefits as commercial growers who have been using
nematode products from Becker Underwood for two decades to control
many pests and not just those most commonly found in the garden.
