Bamboo mosaic virus before that. The natural host of this virus is bamboo. It is known to infect at least 12 different species in 7 different genera. In host range studies it has been shown to cause local lesions on "Chenopodium amaraticolor" and "Gomphrena globosa" and a systemic infection in barley ("Hordeum vulgare"), another member of the grass family, "Poaceae" or "Gramineae". Symptoms in bamboo include chlorotic mottling/mosaic patterns on the leaves which run parallel with the veins (Typical symptoms on leaves), necrotic streaking on the shoots and stem abortion. However, not all susceptible plants show recognizable symptoms. Bamboo mosaic virus "Bamboo mosaic
Organisms involved in water purification and to generate toxins in some cases. The choice of organism depends on the local climate different species and other factors. Indigenous species usually tend to be better adapted to the local environment. The choice of plants in engineered wet-lands or managed lagoons is dependent on the purification requirements of the system and this may involve plantings of varying plant species at a range of depths to achieve the required goal. Plants purify water by consuming excess nutrients and by providing surfaces upon which a wide range of other purifying organisms can live. They also are effective oxygenators in sunlight.
