Lutte microbienne. L'utilisation de micro-organismes pathogènes est devenue un domaine important de la lutte biologique. Bien que les efforts en ce sens datent d'environ 80 ans, le développement de cette méthode a été dû essentiellement à une meilleure connaissance des organismes pathogènes tels que les virus, les bactéries, les protozoaires et les champignons. On a obtenu des résultats économiquement importants essentiellement avec des virus et des bactéries au cours des vingt dernières années.

To allow recognition of many antigens, the immune system creates a large population of receptor molecules that differ in the primary sequence of their antigen-binding regions.

The use of biochemical electrodes having bio-specificity has been attracting considerable attention recently for the checking or control of concentrations of metabolites in body fluids. This bio-specificity is based on enzyme, and immobilized enzymes are used in many cases. These electrodes are suitable for the measurement of substrates, coenzymes, or inhibitors of an enzyme, and are called "enzyme electrodes" or "microbial electrodes" when microbial cells are used. 2, record 8, English, - microbial%20electrode
