Prevention of Bacteriophage Adsorption on Bacillus megaterium Cells Via Two Mechanisms
Background and Objective:Bacillus megaterium is commonly used as a phosphate dissolving bio-fertilizer. Presence of bacteriophages in the soil is likely to be the significant environmental agents effecting the protection and activities of such useful bacteria. Receptors play a definitive role in the development of bacterial resistance to bacteriophage infection, the adsorption resistance divided to three groups: Blocking of phage receptors, ... إقراء المزيد
