Analysis of the role of velvet and laeA in the molecular interactions between grass and Epichloë fungal symbionts
… an important feature of the symbiosis given the bioprotection conferred by fungal alkaloids. In this thesis, the velA and laeA homologues in the model Epichloë species E. festucae were deleted and functionally characterised in vitro and their roles in the E. festucae interaction with its host …

A study of the mechanisms of antagonism by the biocontrol fungi <i>Trichoderma </i>against wood decay basidiomycetes
… and have more recently been investigated for bioprotection of wood products.<br/><br/>Screening of fungal antagonists is the first most important step in selection of potential biocontrol agents. Preliminary interaction studies were carried out between <i>Trichoderma </i>spp. and selected …

Interactions of Environmental Pollutants with Human Gut Bacteria
… in excreted feces, opening possibilities for bioprotection and detoxification. In summary, my results uncover novel chemical-bacteria interactions, reveal correlation of compound sensitivity between different xenobiotic classes, and bring forward the remarkable capacity of human gut bacteria …

Concrete ecological enhancement in the temperate marine environment
… occur in tandem. Some species may offer more bioprotection than others, including calcareous encrusting species like oysters and barnacles. Finally, this section concludes with an experiment comparing the bioreceptivity of two low-carbon cement mixes with an ordinary Portland cement control. …

Quorum sensing in the genus Hafnia - in vitro and in silico investigations
… bacteria with potential applications in bioprotection as quorum quenching strains. In Chapter 4, the nature of the presumptive QSI activity of Hafnia spp. isolates towards acylated homoserine lactone (AHL) signalling was explored using a variety of in vitro approaches. Long-read …

A new approach for delivery of entomopathogenic fungi for plant protection against insect pests and plant diseases via maize seed : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University
Entomopathogenic fungi have been recognized mainly for their ability to kill insects which has seen as an advantage for the development of these particular fungi as biocontrol agents in sustainable agriculture programmes. Recently, it was determined that some species of entomopathogenic fungi, …
