Plants are hosts to complex communities of endophytic bacteria that colonize the interior of
both below-and aboveground tissues. Bacteria living inside plant tissues as endophytes can …

Environmental mycobacteria are emerging pathogens causing opportunistic infections in
humans and animals. The health impacts of human-mycobacterial interactions are complex …

Background Aridification is a worldwide serious threat directly affecting agriculture and crop
production. In arid and desert areas, it has been found that microbial diversity is huge, built …

Endophytes are found in meristematic bud tissues of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.)
especially prior to growth, which would suggest their involvement in growth of the bud. To …

The endophytic bacterial communities of six Prunus avium L. genotypes differing in their
growth patterns during in vitro propagation were identified by culture-dependent and culture …

Cold atmospheric pressure (CP) plasma irradiation of seeds has been shown to promote
plant growth, but the molecular basis of this phenomenon is poorly understood. In our study …

Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) represents one of the richest flavonoid sources among plants.
Flavonoids play variable, species-dependent roles in plant defences. In bilberry, flavonoid …

Mycobacteria have thwarted detection by scientists for centuries. Mycobacterium
paratuberculosis is one of the most fastidious of the Mycobacteriaceae, and has been …

We studied the location and distribution of a bacterial isolate, a Mycobacterium sp., in buds
of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). Using a probe specific for the 16S rRNA of the …

Endophytic bacteria occurring in plant in vitro cultures have often been described as
contaminants, although these are generally present in all plant tissues, often with plant …
