Spodoptera albula susceptibility to Bacillus thuringiensis-based biopesticides

An Overview of Bacillus Thuringiensis Biopesticides

Bacillus thuringiensis – Based Biopesticides Against Agricultural Pests in Latin America

Melanin: A Solution for Photoprotection of Bacillus thuringiensis Based Biopesticides

Melanins can be obtained by chemical and microbiological synthesis, or by extraction from animal and plant tissues. One of the major problems in studying melanins, is the lack of adequate methods for the isolation of pure melanin pigments. Remarkably, little is known about the structures of melanins, despite their abundance in the global biomass. This is due to the inability of current biochemi...

Microbial Biopesticides with a Focus on Bacillus thuringiensis and Baculoviruses

Constitutive Activation of the Midgut Response to Bacillus thuringiensis in Bt-Resistant Spodoptera exigua

Bacillus thuringiensis is the most effective microbial control agent for controlling numerous species from different insect orders. The main threat for the long term use of B. thuringiensis in pest control is the ability of insects to develop resistance. Thus, the identification of insect genes involved in conferring resistance is of paramount importance. A colony of Spodoptera exigua (Lepidopt...
