Influence of Carbon and Nitrogen Sources on the Growth and Sporulation of Bacillus thuringiensis var Galleriae for Biopesticide Production
نویسنده
چکیده
The influence of glucose and yeast extract (YE) as carbon and nitrogen sources, respectively, on the metabolic processes involving growth, insecticidal protein synthesis and sporulation were studied in batch bioreactor. Significant changes in the metabolic process were observed with different concentration level of glucose and YE. Higher concentration of glucose has resulted in heterogenous population of cells and higher concentration of YE has resulted in the delay of spore release. This detailed study on the influence of the substrate level towards metabolic flux could provide a way for the enhancement of sporulation and insecticidal crystal proteins (ICP). Culture growth as a macroscopic phenomenon was observed to be influenced by varying level of substrates for optimum metabolic flux for the growth and subsequent sporulation with ICP synthesis. Furthermore, need for optimum initial concentration of glucose and YE for the balanced flux of substrates, was realized.

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been extensively used in biopesticidal formulations due to its safe environmental and human health records. The widespread use of Bt is often challenged by production as well as formulation costs which are in direct contact with downstream processing, i.e. the separation/purification step. Downstream separation/purification efficacy governs the marketabi...

Synthetic pesticides have a number of ill effects on soil, water, human health, wildlife and ecological balance. These ill effects have led to the use of microbial insecticides against insect pests of order Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera and Hemiptera. Bacillus thuringiensis is a gram-positive endospore forming bacterium that produces a parasporal crystal protein inclusion during sporulation ...
