Brevibacillus laterosporus, a bacterium characterized by the production of a unique canoe-
shaped lamellar body attached to one side of the spore, is a natural inhabitant of water, soil …

Caenorhabditis elegans has become a popular model system for genetic and molecular
research, since it is easy to maintain and has a very fast life-cycle. Its genome is small and a …

We examined the mechanism of action and compared the anthelmintic efficacy of cysteine
proteinases from papaya, pineapple, fig, kiwi fruit and Egyptian milkweed in vitro using the …

Brevibacillus laterosporus is an aerobic spore-forming bacterium with the ability to produce
canoe-shaped lamellar parasporal inclusions adjacent to spores. An isolate named G4 was …

This study was conducted to estimate the potential of Bacillus pumilus L1 against root‐knot
nematode, Meloidogyne arenaria, in both in vitro and in vivo conditions. B. pumilus L1 was …

Chitin metabolism is an essential life sustaining activity of phytophagous insects,
phytopathogenic fungi and parasitic nematode which are the major limiting factors of …

Nematodes are remarkably successful, both as free-living organisms and as parasites. The
diversity of parasitic lifestyles displayed by nematodes, and the diversity of hosts used …

Background Parasitic roundworms (nematodes) cause substantial morbidity and mortality in
livestock animals globally, and considerable productivity losses to farmers. The control of …

A full-length mRNA encoding a secreted 26-kDa antigen of infective larvae of the ascarid
nematode parasite Toxocara canis has been identified. This was characterized as a 1,082 …

A neutral serine protease (designated Aoz1) was purified to homogeneity from a strain of
Arthrobotrys oligospora, obtained from soil in Yunnan Province. The purified protein showed …
