Two field-collected Culex quinquefasciatus colonies were subjected to selection pressure by three strains of Bacillus sphaericus, C3-41, 2362, and IAB59, under laboratory conditions. After 13 and 18 generations of exposure to high concentrations of C3-41 and IAB59, a field-collected low-level-resistant colony developed >144,000- and 46.3-fold resistance to strains C3-41 and IAB59, respectively. A field-collected susceptible colony was selected with 2362 and IAB59 for 46 and 12 generations and attained >162,000- and 5.7-fold resistance to the two agents, respectively. The pattern of resistance evolution in mosquitoes depended on continuous selection pressure, and the stronger the selection pressure, the more quickly resistance developed. The resistant colonies obtained after selection with B. sphaericus C3-41 and 2362 showed very high levels of cross-resistance to B. sphaericus 2362 and C3-41, respectively, but they displayed only low-level cross-resistance to IAB59. On the other hand, the IAB59-selected colonies had high cross-resistance to both strains C3-41 and 2362. Additionally, the slower evolution of resistance against strain IAB59 may be explained by the presence of another larvicidal factor. This is in agreement with the nontoxicity of the cloned and purified binary toxin (Bin1) of IAB59 for 2362-resistant larvae. We also verified that all the B. sphaericus-selected colonies showed no cross-resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis, suggesting that it would be a promising alternative in managing resistance to B. sphaericus in C. quinquefasciatus larvae. 相似文献

Two colonies of Culex quinquefasciatus Say (Diptera: Culicidae) were selected with Bacillus sphaericus strains C3-41 and IAB59 in the laboratory for 13 and 18 generations; they attained 145,000- and 48.3-fold resistance, respectively, in comparison with a susceptible laboratory colony (SLCq) and showed very high levels of cross-resistance (8500- to 145,000-fold) to B. sphaericus strains C3-41, 1593, 2297 and 2362. They were relatively susceptible to B. sphaericus strains LP1-G and 47-6B (only 0.8- to 2.8-fold tolerance), with 24.8- to 48.3-fold cross-resistance to strain IAB59. B. sphaericus-resistant mosquito colonies remained highly susceptible to B. thuringiensis israelensis, suggesting that B.t.i. would be of value in the management of B. sphaericus-resistant Cx. quinquefasciatus colonies. The demonstration of low or no cross-resistance of two selected resistant Cx. quinquefasciatus colonies to IAB59, LP1-G and 47-6B strains of B. sphaericus and the finding of a major 49 kDa protein in these strains suggest that there is likely to be another mosquitocidal factor in the three strains. 相似文献

A flowable mosquito-larvicidal formulation of Bacillus sphaericus strain C3-41 has been continuously used for 8 years to control Culex quinquefasciatus larvae in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China. This formulation had high efficacy against the target larvae during the first 6 years of treatment. However, under this high selection pressure, C. quinquefasciatus showed a significant level of resistance to C3-41 from years seven to eight. The resistance ratio of field-collected larvae at LC 50 was calculated to be 22 672-fold in comparison with the susceptible laboratory colony. Interestingly, no cross-resistance was observed to B. sphaericus strain LP1-G which had the same toxicity against both susceptible and resistant larvae, and B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis was found to be more active to the latter than the former. After six months treatment with the B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis formulation in the B. sphaericus resistant population area, the mosquito population recovered its susceptibility to B. sphaericus C3-41, with the resistance ratio of field-collected larvae dropping from 22 672- to 5.67-fold. 相似文献

We studied the cross-resistance to three highly toxic Bacillus sphaericus strains, IAB-59 (serotype H6), IAB-881 (serotype H3), and IAB-872 (serotype H48), of four colonies of the Culex pipiens complex resistant to B. sphaericus 2362 and 1593, both of which are serotype H5a5b strains. Two field-selected highly resistant colonies originating from India (KOCHI, 17,000-fold resistance) and France (SPHAE, 23,000-fold resistance) and a highly resistant laboratory-selected colony from California (GeoR, 36,000-fold resistance) showed strong cross-resistance to strains IAB-881 and IAB-872 but significantly weaker cross-resistance to IAB-59 (3- to 43-fold resistance). In contrast, a laboratory-selected California colony with low-level resistance (JRMM-R, 5-fold resistance) displayed similar levels of resistance (5- to 10-fold) to all of the B. sphaericus strains tested. Thus, among the mosquitocidal strains of B. sphaericus we identified a strain, IAB-59, which was toxic to several Culex colonies that were highly resistant to commercial strains 2362 and 1593. Our analysis also indicated that strain IAB-59 may possess other larvicidal factors. These results could have important implications for the development of resistance management strategies for area-wide mosquito control programs based on the use of B. sphaericus preparations. 相似文献

This work demonstrates that Bin1 and Bin2 toxins, produced by Bacillus sphaericus strains IAB59 and 2362, respectively, share a binding site in midgut brush border membranes (BBMF) from Culex pipiens complex larvae. However, a colony selected with strain IAB59, displaying a resistance ratio of only 42-fold to IAB59, but a 162,000-fold resistance to strain 2362, was found to miss receptors for Bin2 in the BBMF. This correlates with results showing that Bin1, produced in strain IAB59, failed to bind specifically to BBMF from other colony highly resistant to strain 2362. Data indicate the loss of the BBMF bound receptor as a general mechanism of resistance to binary toxins in mosquito. 相似文献

Summary Seven bacterial isolates from Ghana, IAB 763, IAB 769-1, IAB 769-2, IAB 774, IAB 871, IAB 872, IAB 881, are characterized as Bacillus sphaericus strains highly toxic to mosquito larvae. Most of them belong to serotype H6, except for IAB 881 and IAB 872, which belong pesrespectively to serotypes H3 and H48. Phenotypic characters of all these strains are identical to those of strains 2362 (serotype H5) and IAB 59 (serotype H6), used for comparison. Five strains out of seven produce final whole cultures and alkali-solubilized toxins, which have very high potency against Culex pipiens larvae. Their larvicidal power is similar to that of strains 2362 and IAB 59. By using polyclonal antibodies raised against 42- and 56-kDa toxic polypeptides of strain 2362, Western-blot of the alkali-solubilized toxins of these new five strains showed homologies. It is the first time that strains belonging to serotypes H3 and H48 have been found pathogenic to mosquito larvae, thus increasing to eight the number of toxic serotypes of B. sphaericus.

The interaction of two cytolytic toxins, Cyt1Ab from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. medellin and Cyt2Ba from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis, with Bacillus sphaericus was evaluated against susceptible and resistant Culex quinquefasciatus and the nonsensitive species Aedes aegypti. Mixtures of B. sphaericus with either cytolytic toxin were synergistic, and B. sphaericus resistance in C. quinquefasciatus was suppressed from >17,000- to 2-fold with a 3:1 mixture of B. sphaericus and Cyt1Ab. This trait may prove useful for combating insecticide resistance and for improving the activity of microbial insecticides. 相似文献

The 2362 strain of Bacillus sphaericus (Bs) Neide is a highly mosquitocidal bacterium used in commercial bacterial larvicides primarily to control mosquitoes of the genus Culex. Unfortunately, Bs is at high risk for selecting resistance in mosquito populations, because its binary toxin apparently only binds to a single receptor type on midgut microvilli. A potential key strategy for delaying resistance to insecticidal proteins is to use mixtures of toxins that act at different targets within the insect, especially mixtures that interact synergistically. We tested this hypothesis for delaying the phenotypic expression of resistance by exposing Culex quinquefasciatus Say larvae to Bs alone or in combination with Cyt1A from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis. Two laboratory lines of Cx. quinquefasciatus, one sensitive to Bs and the other containing Bs resistance alleles, were subjected to intensive selection pressure for 20 generations with either Bs 2362 or a 3:1 mixture of Bs 2362+Cyt1A. At the end of the study, the sensitive line had evolved >1000-fold resistance when selected with Bs alone, whereas the parallel line selected with Bs+Cyt1A exhibited only low resistance toward this mixture (RR95, 1.4). Similar results were observed in the lines containing Bs resistance alleles. Both lines selected with Bs+Cyt1A exhibited substantial resistance to Bs in the absence of Cyt1A. Although selection with Bs+Cyt1A did not prevent the underlying evolution of resistance to Bs, these results suggest that a mixture of Bs with other endotoxins, particularly one like Bs+Cyt1A in which the components interact synergistically, will provide longer lasting and more effective mosquito control than Bs alone. 相似文献

Bacillus sphaericus 2362 strains transformed with the plasmid pUB110 (4.5 kb) and plasmids derived from it, pLDT103 (7.6 kb) and pLDT117 (9.3 kb), were able to recycle (spore germination, vegetative growth, sporulation) in larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus. During the course of recycling, the pUB110 vector and the recombinant plasmid pLDT103 were stable (100 and 99.2%, respectively). However, the recombinant plasmid pLDT117 exhibited 23% segregational instability. Isolates which lost pLDT117 during recycling retained the one large plasmid native to B. sphaericus 2362. 相似文献

The larval susceptibility to Bacillus sphaericus strain 2362 of the non-man-biting mosquito Culex cinereus and the urban filariasis vector Culex quinquefasciatus, two competitor mosquitoes in polluted habitats, was compared. In the laboratory, both species ingested a similar amount of B. sphaericus spores when fed c. 2 x 10(5) spores per ml for 30 min. However, in the same experiment, third-instar larvae of Cx quinquefasciatus were reduced by 98% at 24 h exposure while Cx cinereus larvae were only reduced by 6% at 72 h. In the field, preimaginal populations of Cx cinereus ingested, within a week, more than 99% of the applied spores, but showed no significant decrease through 14 days in cesspools treated at 10 g/m2 of a flowable concentrate of B. sphaericus 2362, containing 2 x 10(10) spores/g. It is proposed that specific biological control of Cx quinquefasciatus could result from appropriate treatment of breeding-sites with larvicidal B. sphaericus and competitive displacement by Cx cinereus or other mosquitoes with larvae that are more tolerant of B. sphaericus. 相似文献

Integrative plasmids were constructed to enable integration of foreign DNA into the chromosome of Bacillus sphaericus 2297 by in vivo recombination. Integration of the aphA3 kanamycin resistance gene by a two-step procedure demonstrated that this strategy was applicable with antibiotic resistance selection. Hybridization experiments evidenced two copies of the operon encoding the binary toxin from B. sphaericus in the recipient strain. The Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis cry11Aal gene (referred to as cry11A), encoding a delta-endotoxin with toxicity against Culex, Aedes, and Anopheles larvae, was integrated either by a single crossover event [strain 2297 (::pHT5601), harboring the entire recombinant plasmid] or by two successive crossover events [strain 2297 (::cry11A)]. The level of the Cry11A production in B. sphaericus was high; two crystalline inclusions were produced in strain 2297 (::pHT5601). Synthesis of the Cry11A toxin conferred toxicity to the recombinant strains against Aedes aegypti larvae, for which the parental strain was not toxic. Interestingly, the level of larvicidal activity of strain 2297 (::pHT5601) against Anopheles stephensi was as high as that of B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis and suggested synergy between the B. thuringiensis and B. sphaericus toxins. The toxicities of parental and recombinant B. sphaericus strains against Culex quinquefasciatus were similar, but the recombinant strains killed the larvae more rapidly. The production of the Cry11A toxin in B. sphaericus also partially restored toxicity for C. quinquefasciatus larvae from a population resistant to B. sphaericus 1593. In vivo recombination therefore appears to be a promising approach to the creation of new B. sphaericus strains for vector control. 相似文献

After site-directed mutagenesis, the genes coding for the 42- and 51-kilodalton (kDa) mosquitocidal proteins of Bacillus sphaericus 2362 were placed under the regulation of the aprE (subtilisin) promoter of the Bacillus subtilis vector pUE (a derivative of pUB18). The levels of expression of the gene products in B. subtilis DB104 and B. sphaericus 718 were assessed by bioassays with larvae of Culex pipiens and by Western immunoblots. The results indicated that a higher amount of protein was produced in B. subtilis DB104. Electron microscopic examination of B. subtilis DB104 and B. sphaericus 718 containing the 42- and 51-kDa proteins indicated that amorphous inclusions accumulated in the former species and that crystals identical in appearance to that found in B. sphaericus 2362 were produced in the latter. Strains producing only the 42- or the 51-kDa protein were not toxic to larvae of C. pipiens. A mixture of both strains, a single strain producing both proteins, or a fusion of the 51- and the 42-kDa proteins was toxic. The amount of B. subtilis DB104 containing the 42- and the 51-kDa proteins necessary to kill 50% of the larvae of C. pipiens was 5.6 ng (dry weight) of cells per ml. This value was significantly lower than that for B. sphaericus 2362 (14 ng [dry weight] per ml). Larvae consuming purified amorphous inclusions containing the 42-kDa protein degraded this protein this protein to primarily 39- and 24-kDa peptides, whereas inclusions with the 51-kDa protein were primarily degraded to a protein of 44 kDa. Past studies involving purified proteins from B. sphaericus 2362 indicate an associate of toxicity with the 39-kDa peptide. The results presented here suggest that the 44-kDa degradation product of the 51-kDa protein may also be required for toxicity. 相似文献

A novel recombinant Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis strain that produces the B. sphaericus binary toxin, Cyt1Aa, and Cry11Ba is described. The toxicity of this strain (50% lethal concentration [LC(50)] = 1.7 ng/ml) against fourth-instar Culex quinquefasciatus was higher than that of B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis IPS-82 (LC(50) = 7.9 ng/ml) or B. sphaericus 2362 (LC(50) = 12.6 ng/ml). 相似文献

A new plasmid, pNQ116, was constructed in Bacillus sphaericus by cloning a promoter fragment from B. sphaericus Ts-1 into pNQ112. The plasmid (CmrKmr, 5.23 kb) contains a restriction endonuclease polylinker used for cloning foreign genes, and its cat-86 gene is expressed at high levels from the Ts-1 promoter. This plasmid vector has been transformed into B. sphaericus AS 1.270, AS 1.465, AS 1.469, and 2362, at frequencies of 10(2)-10(3) transformants per microgram of DNA, and is maintained stably under nonselective conditions in these host strains. The presence of pNQ116 in B. sphaericus 2362 does ot interfere with the mosquito larvicidal activity of the organism. 相似文献

Insecticides based on Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis have been used for mosquito and blackfly control for more than 20 years, yet no resistance to this bacterium has been reported. Moreover, in contrast to B. thuringiensis subspecies toxic to coleopteran or lepidopteran larvae, only low levels of resistance to B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis have been obtained in laboratory experiments where mosquito larvae were placed under heavy selection pressure for more than 30 generations. Selection of Culex quinquefasciatus with mutants of B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis that contained different combinations of its Cry proteins and Cyt1Aa suggested that the latter protein delayed resistance. This hypothesis, however, has not been tested experimentally. Here we report experiments in which separate C. quinquefasciatus populations were selected for 20 generations to recombinant strains of B. thuringiensis that produced either Cyt1Aa, Cry11Aa, or a 1:3 mixture of these strains. At the end of selection, the resistance ratio was 1,237 in the Cry11Aa-selected population and 242 in the Cyt1Aa-selected population. The resistance ratio, however, was only 8 in the population selected with the 1:3 ratio of Cyt1Aa and Cry11Aa strains. When the resistant mosquito strain developed by selection to the Cyt1Aa-Cry11Aa combination was assayed against Cry11Aa after 48 generations, resistance to this protein was 9.3-fold. This indicates that in the presence of Cyt1Aa, resistance to Cry11Aa evolved, but at a much lower rate than when Cyt1Aa was absent. These results indicate that Cyt1Aa is the principal factor responsible for delaying the evolution and expression of resistance to mosquitocidal Cry proteins. 相似文献
