Physical Factors Affecting the Scale-Up of Vegetative Insecticidal Protein (Vip3A) Production by Bacillus thuringiensis Bt294

Fermentation, 2023
Vip3A (vegetative insecticidal protein) is a representative member of the Vip3 family, which is widely used for lepidopteran pest control. This Vip3A protein, a non-growth-associated protein, is an effective bioinsecticide against insect pests, but there

Creation of Recombinant Biocontrol Agents by Genetic Programming of Yeast

Acta Naturae, 2023
Bacterial infections caused by antibiotic-resistant pathogens pose an extremely serious and elusive problem in healthcare. The discovery and targeted creation of new antibiotics are today among the most important public health issues. Antibiotics based on antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are of particular interest due to their genetically encoded nature ...

Scalability of genetic biocontrols for eradicating invasive alien mammals

NeoBiota, 2022
CRISPR-based gene drives offer novel solutions for controlling invasive alien species, which could ultimately extend eradication efforts to continental scales. Gene drives for suppressing invasive alien vertebrates are now under development. Using a landscape-scale individual-based model, we present the first estimates of times to eradication for long ...

Uniting RNAi Technology and Conservation Biocontrol to Promote Global Food Security and Agrobiodiversity [PDF]

, 2022
Habitat loss and fragmentation, and the effects of pesticides, contribute to biodiversity losses and unsustainable food production. Given the United Nation’s (UN’s) declaration of this decade as the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, we advocate ...

Enhancing the Biocontrol Potential of the Entomopathogenic Fungus in Multiple Respects via the Overexpression of a Transcription Factor Gene MaSom1

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Entomopathogenic fungi play important roles in the control of populations of agricultural and disease vector pests in nature. The shortcomings of mycoinsecticides for pest management in the field cannot be completely overcome by improving single ...

Plant pathogens as biocontrol agents of Cirsium arvense : an overestimated approach? [PDF]

, 2011
Cirsium arvense is one of the worst weeds in agriculture. As herbicides are not very effective and not accepted by organic farming and special habitats, possible biocontrol agents have been investigated since many decades.
