“…The histopathological effects of B. subtilis SPB1 biosurfactant on E. ceratoniae midgut was also studied and showed vesicle formation in the apical region of cells and lysis and strong vacuolization of columnar cells. Similar histopathological effects were observed in Ephestia kuehniella [21], Spodoptera littoralis [70,78], and Prays oleae [70].…”

Biosurfactants are amphipathic surface-active molecules produced by bacteria, fungi, and yeast. Owing to their low toxicity, high degree of biodegradability, optimal activity at extreme environmental conditions, and environmental friendly nature, biosurfactants have received attention in pest management. Most recently, the insecticidal activities of the biosurfactants obtained from different bacterial species have been reported. Therefore, considering the role of biosurfactants in novel insecticide production and environmentally safe insect pest management, we reviewed the isolation and identification of the biosurfactant-producing bacteria, the production methods of biosurfactants, and their potential applications in insect pest management, as well as delineated the possible future research areas. Finally, we concluded that, in the near future, biosurfactants will be the green pesticides that will replace the synthetic pesticides, and thus, for the discovery of novel insecticides, biochemical and molecular approaches, such as genomic and transcriptomic studies, are appreciable.

“…Moreover, effective formulation consisting of B. subtilis lipopeptide biosurfactant was also used for control of Drosophila melanogaster (Assie et al, 2002), Culex quinquefasciatus (Das and Mukherjee, 2006), Anopheles stephensi (Geetha and Manonmani, 2008) and Aedes aegypti (Geetha et al, 2010). Interestingly, B. subtilis has been reported as a biological control agent against Spodoptera littoralis (Abd El-Salam et al, 2011). It was shown to be more efficient than Bacillus thuringiensis (Abd El-Salam et al, 2011).…”

“…Interestingly, B. subtilis has been reported as a biological control agent against Spodoptera littoralis (Abd El-Salam et al, 2011). It was shown to be more efficient than Bacillus thuringiensis (Abd El-Salam et al, 2011). Further, B. subtilis is used industrially for large scale production of bioactive cyclic lipopeptides, surfactin and iturins (Banat et al, 2010).…”

“…It would be worthwhile examining B. subtilis and its metabolites more closely for potential effects on B. impatiens gut flora. Several strains of B. subtilis occur naturally in the gut of honeybees and have no adverse effects on their host, but ingestion of foreign B. subtilis or its metabolites has been shown to cause lethal or harmful histopathological effects on the midgut of other insects . Comparisons of pure and formulated B. subtilis would also be useful to clarify whether observed toxicity is due to formulation constituents not listed on the Serenade product label.…”
