昆虫病原菌苏云金芽孢杆菌群(Bacillus thuringiensis Group)的分类

采用形态、生化、血清学的方法对国外引种的15株巳知菌和本国51株未知菌进行了变种的分型研究。结果表明：苏云金芽孢杆菌(Bacillus thuringiensis)作为有益的细菌资源在藏国分布较广。51株菌中属于血清型H1苏云金芽孢杆菌苏云金变种(Baeillus thuringiensisvar. Thuringiensis)有11株,血清型H50-5b苏云金芽孢杆菌蜡螟变种(B．Thur．Var．Galleriae)31株,血清型H4-4b苏云金芽孢杆菌松蜩变种(B.thur. Var. dengrolimut)3株,血清型H4-4a。苏云金芽孢杆菌肯尼亚变种(B. thur. Var kenyae) 5株,同时发现血清型H．苏云金芽孢杆菌玉米螟变种(B. thur var. ostrinia,)一株。玉米螟变种不同于该菌群的巳知菌株,认为是一个新变种。实践证明,利用血清学抗原抗体具有高度特异{生的凝集反应来鉴别苏云垒芽孢杆菌变种,简便,快速,准确。而该群噬菌体却不能作为区分变种的标准。     

单宁对苏云金芽孢杆菌库斯塔克变种杀棉铃虫效力的作用(英文)

本文报道棉铃虫、苏云金芽孢杆菌库斯塔克变种和单宁三者间的相互作用。苏云金芽孢杆菌芽孢晶体混合粉以6个不同的浓度（0％,0．005％,0．01％,0．015％,0．02％,0．025％湿重）分别加入含0．025％单宁和不含单宁的人工饲料中。初孵幼虫分别在上述饲料中饲养48h后,转入相应的不含苏云金芽孢杆菌的人工饲料上饲养,直到留存的幼虫化蛹。结果表明,单宁与苏云金芽孢杆菌混用可提高苏云金芽孢杆菌对棉铃虫的毒力,LD50降低45％,并可显著抑制该虫的生长发育,但二者在抑制生长发育方面无交互作用。选择取食试验显示,苏云金芽孢杆菌对五龄幼虫有显著的抑食性,但单宁无此作用,单宁与苏云金芽孢杆菌混用不会增强抑食性,但单宁能抑制苏云金芽孢杆菌菌落的生长,浓度高于15mg／100ml还能抑制芽孢的萌发。

Two new subspecies of Bacillus thuringiensis isolated in Japan: Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kumamotoensis (serotype 18) and Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. tochigiensis (serotype 19)

Bacteriological and serological characteristics of three Bacillus thuringiensis isolates obtained in Japan were investigated. They formed typical rhomboidal parasporal inclusions but flagellar (H) antigens of these isolates were different from those of the known 17 H serotypes of B. thuringiensis. The three isolates were divided into two new serotypes (serotypes 18 and 19). The serotype 18 isolate (3–71) produced thermostable exotoxin and the inclusions of this isolate were toxic to larvae of the silkworm, Bombyx mori, but nontoxic to larvae of the mosquito, Aedes aegypti. The other isolate (119-72) belonging to serotype 18 produced inclusions nontoxic to larvae of B. mori and A. aegypti and did not produce thermostable exotoxin. However, other bacteriological properties of the isolate 119-72 were similar to those of the isolate 3–71. The serotype 19 isolate (117-72) produced inclusions nontoxic to larvae of B. mori and A. aegypti and did not produce thermostable exotoxin. Acid production from saccharose and the production of brownish purple pigment were observed in the two serotype 18 isolates, while neither of them was observed in the serotype 19 isolate. In other 29 biochemical properties tested, there was no difference among the three isolates. Based on these characteristics, the following two subspecies names are proposed: Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kumamotoensis (serotype 18) for the type strain 3–71 and Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. tochigiensis (serotype 19) for the type strain 117-72.     

Larval susceptibility of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera: Plutellidae), to Bacillus thuringiensis H serovars isolated in Japan

A total of 1700 Japanese strains of Bacillus thuringiensis, belonging to at least 47 H serogroups, were examined for insecticidal activity against larvae of the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella. The high-level toxicity was associated with 612 isolates (36.0%). Of these, 608 isolates (99.3%) fell into 13 H serogroups belonging to the low-numbered H serotypes, H1-H10. Conversely, most isolates belonging to the high-numbered serotypes (>H10) had little or no larvicidal activity; only one isolate of the serovar japonensis H23 was active. P xylostella larvae were susceptible to 89.8% of the serovar morrisoni H8a:8b strains and 85.7% of galleriae H5a:5b strains. High values of 60-80% were also obtained in six serovars (thuringiensis H1, alesti H3a:3c, kurstaki H3a:3b:3c, kenyae H4a:4c, aizawai H7, and tolworhi H9), while relatively low values of <60% in two other common serovars, sotto H4a:4b and darmstadiensis H10a:10b. Five selected isolates, belonging to H serovars other than kurstaki and aizawai, were 10-60 times less toxic than the reference strain HD-1 (serovar kurstaki). Parasporal inclusion proteins of these strains were immunologically unrelated to those of the strain HD-1 and the aizawai type strain.     

Inhibition of Settlement by Larvae of Balanus amphitrite and Ciona intestinalis by a Surface-Colonizing Marine Bacterium

In an attempt to isolate bacteria with inhibitory effects against settlement by larvae of sessile invertebrates, 40 marine bacterial isolates were screened for effects against laboratory-reared barnacle larvae (Balanus amphitrite) and ascidian larvae (Ciona intestinalis). Five isolates displayed non-pH-dependent inhibitory effects against the larvae. The initial characterization of a toxic component released from an isolate, designated D2 (CCUG 26757), and its effect on laboratory-reared barnacle and ascidian larvae were studied. D2 is a facultative, anaerobic, gram-negative bacterium isolated from the surface of C. intestinalis from waters off the Swedish west coast at a depth of 10 m. Results suggest that the toxic component is released by D2 during the stationary phase. Aged biofilms were more toxic to the larvae than unaged films. The biologically active compound was in the supernatant of D2 and was heat stable and <500 Da in molecular mass. No evidence of protein or peptide moieties was found. On the basis of two phase and chromatography separations, the component is polar and neutral and contains or binds to carbohydrate moieties. Metaperiodate treatment increased toxicity; undiluted supernatant from a 24-h growth culture of D2 killed barnacle and ascidian larvae within a few hours of exposure, whereas after metaperiodate treatment, the larvae were killed in approximately 30 min.     

Isolation of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis from diseased field-collected larvae of the saturniid moth, Hylesia metabus, in French Guiana

Abstract An isolate of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (BTI) was obtained from field-collected larvae of the saturniid moth, Hylesia metabus . This isolate was shown to belong to serotype H 14, and to produce a spherical parasporal body identical to that of the type strain of BTI. With an LC₅₀ of 0.764 μg cm⁻², this isolate was more toxic to H. metabus than the HD-1 strain of B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (HD-1). These results demonstrate that BTI can be active against lepidopterous insects, a wider spectrum of activity than previously realized.     

Comparison of blastospores of two Paecilomyces fumosoroseus isolates: in vitro traits and virulence when injected into fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda.

Blastospores of two isolates of Paecilomyces fumosoroseus were compared to determine their productivity in vitro and their relative pathogenicity after injection of fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda. Blastospores of less virulent P. fumosoroseus isolate 1576 are smaller than those of isolate 4461, and they germinate and proliferate more slowly in vitro. The pathogenicity of injected blastospores of isolate 1576 against S. frugiperda varies with larval size. In small larvae, percentage mortality was lower among those injected with isolate 1576 than among those injected with isolate 4461. Large larvae were equally susceptible to both isolates. Survival times were higher for isolate 1576 and were higher at lower doses for both isolates. Those larvae injected late in development that ultimately died, regardless of treatment, did not lose weight typical of developing pupae. Injection of large larvae with isolate 4461 resulted in a significantly longer time to pupation among apparently uninfected larvae.     

Gene knockout demonstrates that vip3A contributes to the pathogenesis of Bacillus thuringiensis toward Agrotis ipsilon and Spodoptera exigua

Vip3A is an 89-kDa protein secreted by Bacillus thuringiensis during vegetative growth. To determine the importance of Vip3A for the insect pathogenicity of B. thuringiensis the vip3A gene was deleted from strain HD1, yielding strain HD1Deltavip3A. Compared with HD1, strain HD1Deltavip3A was one-fourth as toxic to Agrotis ipsilon larvae and less than one-tenth as toxic to Spodoptera exigua larvae. When streptomycin was included in the S. exigua diet the toxicity of HD1Deltavip3A was approximately half that of HD1. Addition of HD1 spores increased the toxicity of purified Cry1 protein more than 600-fold against S. exigua, whereas addition of HD1Deltavip3A spores increased toxicity of Cry1 protein approximately 10-fold. These results demonstrate that an important component of B. thuringiensis insecticidal activity against S. exigua is the synthesis of Vip3A protein by B. thuringiensis cells after ingestion of spores and crystal proteins by insect larvae.     

Assessment of toxic potential of local Jordanian Bacillus thuringiensis strains on Drosophila melanogaster and Culex sp. (Diptera)

AIMS: To assess the toxic potential of different local Jordanian Bacillus thuringiensis isolates on larvae of Drosophila melanogaster and Culex sp. METHODS AND RESULTS: Scanning electron microscopy revealed the presence of spherical, bi-pyramidal, and bi-pyramidal and cuboidal parasporal bodies produced by the toxic isolates. Spherical inclusions dominated. The toxicity of the isolates to the two insects, determined using 24-well plates or vials, indicated that the 50% lethal concentration (LC50) of the bacterial suspension for D. melanogaster and Culex sp. larvae varied from 4.60 to 8.65, and from 5.30 to 6.74, respectively. CONCLUSION: Comparison of the LC50 values of isolate 82 with those of the reference strain B. t. israelensis showed that this isolate has a higher toxicity potential. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: Some local Jordanian B. thuringiensis isolates exhibit toxic potential that could be used to control some important pests, and could replace chemical pesticides.     

Effects of temperature on mortality of larval stable fly (Diptera: Muscidae) caused by five isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis

We examined the effects of temperature on mortality of larval stable fly [Stomoxys calcitrans (L.)] caused by Bacillus thuringiensis tolworthi 4L3, B. t. darmastedensis 4M1, B. t. thompsoni 401, B. t. thuringiensis HD2, and B. t. kurstaki HD945. At moderate doses, mortality caused by all isolates ranged from 87 to 99% at 15 degrees C and declined to 29-63% as temperature increased to 30 degrees C. A similar pattern was seen when a higher dose was used, except that the reduction in mortality at warmer temperatures was not as great as was seen with the moderate doses. Insecticidal activity of each isolate against first-instar larvae was reduced by only 5-15% after 5 d in the medium. Mortality of second- and third-instar larvae ranged from 2 to 21%, suggesting the isolates were less effective against larger larvae.     

The storage of infective spores of Vairimorpha necatrix (Protozoa: Microsporida) in antibiotic solution at 4 degrees C.

The interactions between the Diacrisia virginica granulosis virus (DGV) and the Hyphantria cunea baculovirus isolates were determined, utilizing defined differences between the time-mortality responses of these viruses fed to H. cunea larvae. The DGV, having a prolonged incubation period, when given an advantage in time or in the number of capsules, was able to prevent the expression of the more lethal H. cunea granulosis virus (HcGV) isolate. The time-mortality response of test larvae simultaneously fed equivalent dosages of HcGV and DGV was intermediate to that achieved with HcGV alone or DGV alone. Larvae infected with the DGV isolate were still susceptible to double infection by the nucleopolyhedrosis virus. The time-mortality response demonstrated that the development of nucleopolyhedrosis was only partly inhibited by preinfecting the test larvae with the DGV isolate.     

Occurrence of parasporin-producing Bacillus thuringiensis in Vietnam

A total of 63 Bacillus thuringiensis isolates were recovered from urban soils of Hanoi, Vietnam. Of these, 34 were identified to 12 H serogroups. None of the isolates showed larvicidal activities against three lepidopterous insects. Three isolates belonging to the two serovars, colmeri (H21) and konkukian (H34), were highly toxic to larvae of the mosquito Aedes aegypti. Parasporal inclusion proteins of four isolates exhibited cytocidal activities against HeLa cells. Immunologically, proteins of four isolates were closely related to parasporin-1 (Cry31Aa), a parasporal protein that preferentially kills human cancer cells. Haemolytic activities were associated with parasporal proteins of the three mosquitocidal isolates but not with those of the four cancer-cell-killing isolates. PCR experiments and nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that the genes of four anti-cancer isolates are closely related to the gene parasporin-1 (cry31Aa) but are dissimilar to those of the three other existing parasporins. Our results suggest that the soil of northern Vietnam is a good reservoir of parasporin-producing B. thuringiensis.
