De plus en plus, les bactéries, les virus, les champignons et les champignons aquatiques pathogènes ont la possibilité de se propager dans des régions où ils n’ avaient jamais proliféré auparavant et où ils peuvent s’attaquer à de nouveaux hôtes. […] C'est ainsi que des populations animales et végétales ont été anéanties par des agents pathogènes envahissants auxquels elles n’ avaient jamais été exposées au cours de leur évolution et contre lesquels elles ne possédaient par conséquent aucune forme d’immunité. 1, record 1, French, - agent%20pathog%C3%A8ne%20envahissant

[In order to make a microorganism produce an industrially useful protein that it does not normally synthesize,] the idea is to transfer an individual gene coding for the desired product into a host microorganism and grow the organism in volume to yield the product. So far the bacterium Escherichia coli has served almost exclusively as the host because effective vector plasmids, whose DNA has been mapped in fine detail, are available for this workhorse of molecular biology. 2, record 4, English, - vector%20plasmid

Rhizobium. Fixatrices d’azote atmosphérique, ces bactéries se développent sur les racines et forment des nodules(nodosités), visibles chez de nombreuses légumineuses. Elles fournissent ainsi de l'azote organique aux plantes hôtes, qui le fixent au niveau de leurs organes aériens et souterrains. L'introduction d’une légumineuse ayant des rhizobiums actifs dans l'assolement permet d’enrichir en azote les sols cultivés. Dans ceux qui sont dépourvus de rhizobiums, on peut inoculer ces bactéries de façon à accroître la productivité de la légumineuse. 2, record 7, French, - inoculum%20de%20rhizobiums
