Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh lama waktu pengkayaan HUFA (W-3 Highly Unsatured Fatty Acid) pada nauplius artemia terhadap perkembangan larva kepiting bakau (Scylla tranquebarica). Metode didesain dengan menggunakan Rancangan Acak Lengkap (RAL) 4 perlakuan masing-masing 3 kali ulangan sehingga dibutuhkan wadah sebanyak 12 unit perlakuan: A) Nauplius diperkaya selama 1 jam (K...

Irradiation with 405-nm visible violet LED light without additional photosensitizers decreased the viability of aggressive periodontopathic bacterium Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans. The number CFU/mL linearly on a logarithm chart versus irradiation time, 1-log reduction time 1.32 min. antimicrobial photodynamic effect involved inhibition activity membrane-bound cytochrome bd, terminal qu...

the european corn borer, ostrinia nubilalis (hübner), is an important insect pest of corn, zea mays l., crop in moghan region. in field experiments, the density of eggs and larvae of o.nubilalis and percentage of eggs and larvae parasitisms were studied on four corn hybrids ns704 (commercial cultivar), ns770, ns640 and mv524 (cultivars with high yield). furthermore, in this study, the predators...

Transgenic corn (Zea mays L.) products expressing multiple Bt proteins targeting a same group of insect pests have become commercially available in the U.S. The first commercialized pyramided Bt corn technologies for managing lepidopteran pests include Genuity® VT Triple ProTM and Genuity® SmartStaxTM. In this study, larval survival and plant injury of Cry1Ab-susceptible (Cry1Ab-SS), -resistant...

Beneficial microorganisms can increase nutrient digestion and absorption in farmed fish. This study investigates the effects of supplemental feeding Bacillus species isolated from intestines wild glass eels on growth, survival, gene expression farm-raised eel larvae for 30 days after hatching. Three (B. velezensis, AJBV; B. subtilis, AJBS; licheniformis, AJBL) without hemolytic activity were is...

Paenibacillus larvae is the etiological agent of American foulbrood (AFB) in honeybees. Recently, different genotypes of P. larvae (ERIC I to ERIC IV) were defined, and it was shown that these genotypes differ inter alia in their virulence on the larval level. On the colony level, bees mitigate AFB through the hygienic behavior of nurse bees. Therefore, we investigated how the hygienic behavior...

The eggs of the mosquito Aedes aegypti possess the ability to undergo an extended quiescence hosting a fully developed 1st instar larvae within the chorion. As a result of this life history trait pharate larvae can withstand months of quiescence inside the egg where they depend on stored maternal reserves. A. aegypti mosquitoes are frequently associated with urban habitats that may contain sign...

in the present study, the toxic effects on the embryos and larvae of the turbot were used as a model to investigate the diazinon, which contaminates aquatic ecosystems. the number of dead embryos significantly increased in response to diazinon concentrations 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.6, 3.2, and 7.4 mg/l. the 48h lc50 value of diazinon for turbot embryos was estimated at 1.85 mg/l. dose–response decrea...

Paenibacillus larvae strain MEX14 is a facultative anaerobic endospore-forming bacterium that infects Apis mellifera larvae. Strain MEX14 was isolated from domestic bee larvae collected in a backyard in Mexico City. The estimated genome size was determined to be 4.18 Mb, and it harbors 4,806 protein coding genes (CDSs).
