Abstract excerpt
A means for eliminating ice-nucleation-active (INA) bacteria, the microorganisms responsible for frost damage to plants at mild freezing temperatures, is the use as competitors of other naturally occurring, non-nucleating strains. Inactive mutants (INA-) of INA bacteria have been produced by genetic or chemical methods and proposed for biological control of INA populations. Since, however, the application of...
