Root colonization of different plants by plant-growth-promoting Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii R39 studied with monospecific polyclonal antisera
Article Abstract:
Monospecific polyclonal antisera and immunological techniques were utilized to localize and quantify the Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii R39 strain in inoculated leguminous and nonleguminous plants. The antisera pab 200/I and pab 200/II were utilized for the detection of the bacterium due to their high affinity to the antigen and absence of cross-reactions with other bacteria in enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay. Furthermore, analysis of root colonizations indicated the ability of Rhizobium sp. to efficiently colonize the roots of leguminous and nonleguminous plants.

Characterization of monolaurin resistance in Enterococcus faecalis
Article Abstract:
The study presents the characterization of the target as well as potential mechanisms of monolaurin resistance in Enterococcus faecalis to assess its ability to act as a food preservative. The results show that a change in the cell surface hydrophobicity increases the resistance of the substance.
