[The recent research progress on Bdellovibrio bacteriourus].
The recent research progress on taxonomy and physiological of B. bacteriouorus were briefly touched. The bacteriouorus HD100 and the system for genetic recombination and repair in B. genome characteristics of B. bacteriouorus were summarized in great detail. Prey cells invading mechanism(s) and biochemical characteristics of B. bacteriouorus, including respiration and synthesis and nutrients transportation and absorption were introduced in detail too. Recent practical applications of B. bacteriouorus were reviewed and the potential problems in applications were also pointed out.
