Spread of endosepsis in calimyrna fig orchards.
ABSTRACT Pollination of the edible fig (Ficus carica cv. Calimyrna) is mediated by a small symbiotic wasp, Blastophaga psenes, that inhabits the syconium cavity of the spring crop of fig pollinator trees (caprifigs). These fig wasps also carry propagules, mainly of Fusarium verticillioides (formerly F. moniliforme) and other Fusarium spp., which cause endosepsis, from pollinator figs to the edi...
متن کاملEmergence of biodiversity in microbial populations
It is well known that food stress resulting from density-dependent factors affects the mutation rate and hence promotes diversity. It is also known that in bacterial cultures the quality and composition of the growing media conditions the emergence of different spatial patterns. We would like to address the following question: how will the different spatial regions with well defined geometrical...
متن کاملTracking microbial populations effective in reducing exposure.
Microbial ecology provides the link between basic biochemical and molecular studies on toxicity reduction by microbial metabolism and environmental studies that determine exposure. This link provides the ability to determine which microorganisms are responsible for the actual transformations in nature, thereby establishing how predictive the laboratory pathway, kinetic, regulatory, and enzyme m...
متن کاملFailure of antibiotic treatment in microbial populations.
The tolerance of bacterial populations to biocidal or antibiotic treatment has been well documented in both biofilm and planktonic settings. However, there is still very little known about the mechanisms that produce this tolerance. Evidence that small, non-mutant subpopulations of bacteria are not affected by an antibiotic challenge has been accumulating and provides an attractive explanation ...
متن کاملSelf-Driven Jamming in Growing Microbial Populations
In natural settings, microbes tend to grow in dense populations [1-4] where they need to push against their surroundings to accommodate space for new cells. The associated contact forces play a critical role in a variety of population-level processes, including biofilm formation [5-7], the colonization of porous media [8, 9], and the invasion of biological tissues [10-12]. Although mechanical f...
