Titre(s) : Invertebrate bacteriology [Texte électronique] : function, evolution and biological ties / by Aurelio Ciancio
Publication : Dordrecht : Springer, copyright 2016
Description matérielle : 1 online resource
Note(s) : This compendium reviews different processes acting on bacterial groups that evolved
one or more relationships with members of the most important invertebrate Phyla. Starting
from principles of basic bacteriology the book provides data on bacteria interactions
with pests, animal or human diseases. Being present in all environments, from deep
see to crops, animals or plants, invertebrates represent the most significant and
ancient fraction of the eukaryotic biomass on earth. Their evolutive adaptations and
links with bacteria, established over time scales of ages, range from vectored diseases
to speciation, within a wide range of environmental niches and biocenosis, including
oceanic hydrothermal vents. Main functional processes include pathogenicity, parasitism,
transmission, immunity, symbiosis and speciation. A review about recent advances achieved
in these research topics is given, focussing on one or more aspects concerning significant
evolutive paths of bacteria and underlying functional links. Rather than proceeding
through the order and structure of taxonomies, the volume is organized by processes,
examining their functional role in different lineages, including but not limited to
insects or nematodes. Processes involved in parasitism focus, at a finer level, on
examples from many taxa. Molecular aspects underpinning these and other functional
processes include the effects of horizontal gene transfer, the mechanisms active in
immune defense and vectoring, and the antibacterial peptides. Finally, the effects
of climate warming, biological invasions and agriculture are examined, with particular
attention to farming and environment
