The development of Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus sphaericus as biocontrol agents: from research to industrial production

Optimization of Bio-Mosquitocidal Production using Local Bacterial Strains of Bacillus Sphaericus

“…A complementary effect have been proven as indicated by the uppermost productivity of all the tested strains when the fermentation medium was formulated using corn steep liquor at concentration of 500 ml/l, 25 g/l fodder yeast and 0.3 g/l of MgSO 4 (Table 5 and Figure 4b). However, corn steep liquor as a waste by product contains 0.17% N, and 1.05% C as indicated by chemical analysis, it has been found to contain a variety of necessary biologically active compounds, vitamins and growth stimulants [20,28]. The current study evinced that, the yield of synthesized protein is the virtual consideration for successful fermentation.…”
