In this study, the effects of four different temperatures on sporulation and development 6 Bacillus species, 2 native 4 reference were investigated. The SDS PAGE analysis emerged that two proteins, 40 39 kilodalton (kDa), produced by sphaericus ATCC 2362 after 24 48, respectively hours at 48°C, local isolate 48 42°C 31 48°C. Additionally firmus (ATCC 14573) a kDa protein 52°C thuringiensis var....

In this study 269 phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) strains were isolated from onions rhizosphere. The 15 most efficient PSB selected. Based on BIOLOG profiling and the LOPAT test system, identified as Enterobacter cloacae (7), Yersinia intermedia, Pantoea agglomerans, Bacillus subtilis(2), pumilius, Lysinibacillus sphaericus atrophaeus(2). effect onion growth was investigated under greenhou...

Three hundred and sixty-eight strains of aerobic, endospore-forming bacteria which included type and reference cultures of Bacillus and environmental isolates were studied. Overall similarities of these strains for 118 unit characters were determined by the SSM, SJ and DP coefficients and clustering achieved using the UPGMA algorithm. Test error was within acceptable limits. Six cluster-groups ...

Tadpole shrimp (TPS), Triops newberryi (Packard) (Notostraca: Triopsidae), is a predatory agent for immature mosquitoes breeding in aquatic habitats. This biological control agent could be used with other larvicides in mosquito control programs. In order to elucidate compatibility of the TPS and commonly used mosquito larvicides, studies were initiated to investigate effects of Bacillus thuring...

Two new water dispersible granular (WDG) formulations of the microbial control agent Bacillus sphaericus (strain 2362) were extensively evaluated in polluted waters against Culex quinquefasciatus in Thailand. The studies were carried out in stagnant as well as flowing waters during August 1997 to July 1998. The trail period covered both rainy and dry seasons. The two WDG formulations of B. spha...
