Isolation of entomopathogenic bacteria in the Southwest region of Paraná state in Brazil

چکیده
Background The use of entomopathogenic bacteria to control harmful insects has increased the interest and researches about spore forming bacteria. Species from genus Bacillus are described as rod-shaped cells, sometimes in chains, and mostly capable of producing endospore. Although hundreds of bacteria species are known to be associated with insects, there is only a few which can be used as biological control for agricultural pests as well as, for vectors of tropical diseases. Several agricultural pests seem to be resistant to both chemical pesticides and known toxins produced by entomopathogenic bacteria. Therefore, the goal of this study was to describe the isolation of an entomopathogenic bacteria contributing with researches for new potentially toxic isolates in biological control of insects.

متن کاملCitrus Co-Products in Ruminants Feeds: A Review
The generation of co-products continues at an accelerating pace, driven by population growth. Many of these co-products can be included in ruminant feed, which has the ability to transform them into good quality animal protein, and also help to reduce the disposal of undesirable residues to the environment. One of the co-products with potential use in animal feed, the citrus pulp, represents re...
