Effectiveness of Dead-Spore Bacillus thuringiensis Formulation Against Diamondback Moth
We developed a process of producing a dead-spore Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner var. kurstaki HD-1 formulation, Toarow CT, and studied several aspects t o improve the productivity of crystal toxin and the insecticidal potency after sterilization to kill spores. The production of cell mass or crystal toxin was highly influenced by aeration and agitation of the culture. The culture broth, within...
متن کاملBIOLOGICAL CONTROL Synergy Between Zwittermicin A and Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki Against Gypsy Moth (Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae)
Bacillus cereus French & French increased the mortality of 3rd-instar gypsy moths, Lymantriadispar(L.), causedbyBacillus thuringiensis subsp.kurstakiBerliner.B. cereusdidnotcause mortality of L. dispar when applied alone. The activity of various B. cereus strains was correlated positively with their accumulation of zwittermicin A, an aminopolyol antibiotic, in culture. When a constant dose of B...
متن کاملTranscriptome of the Lymantria dispar (Gypsy Moth) Larval Midgut in Response to Infection by Bacillus thuringiensis
Transcriptomic profiles of the serious lepidopteran insect pest Lymantria dispar (gypsy moth) were characterized in the larval midgut in response to infection by Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki, a biopesticide commonly used for its control. RNA-Seq approaches were used to define a set of 49,613 assembled transcript sequences, of which 838, 1,248 and 3,305 were respectively partitioned into high...
متن کاملSpatial and temporal distribution of airborne Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki during an aerial spray program for gypsy moth eradication.
We measured airborne exposures to the biological insecticide Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Btk) during an aerial spray program to eradicate gypsy moths on the west coast of Canada. We aimed to determine whether staying indoors during spraying reduced exposures, to determine the rate of temporal decay of airborne concentrations, and to determine whether drift occurred outside the spray z...
متن کاملPhenological asynchrony between host plant and gypsy moth reduces insect gut microbiota and susceptibility to Bacillus thuringiensis
The phenological synchrony between the emergence of overwintering herbivorous insects and the budding of host plants is considered a crucial factor in the population dynamics of herbivores. However, the mechanisms driving the interactions between the host plant, herbivores, and their pathogens are often obscure. In the current study, an artificially induced phenological asynchrony was used to i...
