Evolution of Asian Corn Borer Resistance to Bt Toxins Used Singly or in Pairs

Toxins, 2019
Transgenic crops producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have revolutionized pest control, but the benefits of this approach have been reduced by the evolution of resistance in pests.

Composition and Diversity Characteristics of Gut Microbiota during the Development of Telchinia issoria (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Ramie (Boehmeria nivea) is a traditional economic crop of high commercial value, whose cultivation is threatened by the leaf‐feeding pest Telchinia issoria. This study investigated how the gut microbiota of T. issoria shifts across its larval, pupal, and adult stages using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. ABSTRACT Ramie (Boehmeria nivea) was a traditional

Structural and biophysical characterization of Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal proteins Cry34Ab1 and Cry35Ab1. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Bacillus thuringiensis strains are well known for the production of insecticidal proteins upon sporulation and these proteins are deposited in parasporal crystalline inclusions.

The investigation of a recombinant GalNAc binding protein from bacillus thuringiensis as a tool for glycan analysis and detection [PDF]

, 2011
Changes in the structures of glycans on the surfaces of eukaryotic cells can be important biomarkers for developmental or disease states. Improved methods are needed for the detection and analysis of alterations in glycan structures. Carbohydrate binding

Enhancing Stored Wheat Shelf Life: Advances in Storage Technologies, Integrated Pest Management, and Climate‐Responsive Approaches

Food and Energy Security, Volume 15, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Recent advances in agricultural production and storage systems have contributed to a significant enhancement in annual wheat production and preservation, aimed at satisfying increasing consumer demands. Despite such potential developments, there are still significant post‐harvest losses in stored wheat, induced by destructive pests, grain ...

A Pilot Metagenomic Study Demonstrating Virtual Reality Head Mounted Displays Utilized in Medical Education Are Reservoirs of Viable Pathogenic Microbes

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Metagenomic analysis identified 27 pathogenic bacteria including 4 "ESKAPE" pathogens (Enterobacter sp., Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella spp., and Escherichia coli) and numerous organisms associated with ocular infections. A broad range of antimicrobial resistance genes were identified conveying resistance to Methicillin, Aminoglycosides, Macrolides,

Reduction of Hexavalent Chromium by Stenotrophomonas and Bacillus

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Stenotrophomonas and Bacillus remove toxic hexavalent chromium via enzymatic reduction and non‐enzymatic mechanisms. Reductases (e.g., ChrR, HhuH, YhdA, NfrA, Bcr005, NitR, AzoR) use NAD(P)H to convert Cr(VI) to the less toxic Cr(III). ABSTRACT Hexavalent chromium [Cr(VI)] is a widespread environmental pollutant, posing a significant health risk to ...

Galleria mellonella (L.) (Pyralidae) und Spodoptera exigua (Hübner) (Noctuidae): Wirkungsunterschiede zwischen XenTari® (Bacillus thuringiensis aizawai), NeemAzal T/S® und ihren Kombinationen [PDF]

, 2008
Both, G. mellonella and S. exigua, are most important pests in tropical countries. G. mellonella has five to six generations per year (Abid et al. 1997; Ali 1996), there, and feeding in bee combs they find, besides wax, residues of honey, insect skin and
