EVALUATING THE TOXIC AND LATENT EFFICACY OF SPINOSAD AGAINST THE COTTON LEAFWORM, Spodoptera Iittoralis (BOISD.) [PDF]
Spinosad is an insect control agent. Spinosad is derived from the metabolites of the naturally occurring bacteria, Saccharopolyspora spinosa. The objective of this study is to evaluate the toxicity as well as the latent efficacy of spinosad against the

Biosynthesis of spinosyn in Saccharopolyspora spinosa: synthesis of permethylated rhamnose and characterization of the functions of SpnH, SpnI, and SpnK. [PDF]
Spinosyn A is a polyketide-derived macrolide produced by Saccharopolyspora spinosa and is an active ingredient in several commercial insecticides. It is glycosylated by a tri-O-methylated rhamnose at C-9 and a forosamine at C-17. Previous studies indicated that the rhamnose methyltransferases are encoded by the spnH, spnI, and spnK genes. To verify the

Comprehensive genome analysis of two novel Saccharopolyspora strains-Saccharopolyspora montiporae sp. nov. and Saccharopolyspora galaxeae sp. nov. isolated from stony corals in Hainan. [PDF]
Marine actinomycetes exhibit a high level of biodiversity and possess significant potential for the production of high-value secondary metabolites. During the course of investigation of marine actinobacteria from corals, two Saccharopolyspora strains ...

Abstract Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) growers who would like to biologically control major soil pests of potato face an increasing challenge. Two pest species have a major impact on yield quality: white grubs (Melolontha sp.; Eschscholtz, 1829) and wireworms (Agriotes sp.; Fabricius, 1775). Farmers who want to grow potatoes in a sustainable fashion to

Duplication of partial spinosyn biosynthetic gene cluster in Saccharopolyspora spinosa enhances spinosyn production [PDF]
Spinosyns, the secondary metabolites produced by Saccharopolyspora spinosa, are the active ingredients in a family of insect control agents. Most of the S. spinosa genes involved in spinosyn biosynthesis are found in a contiguous c. 74-kb cluster. To increase the spinosyn production through overexpression of their biosynthetic genes, part of its gene ...

Addition of soil protists may enhance performance of agrochemical seed treatments
Abstract Chemicals are an integral part of modern agriculture and are applied through a variety of methods. Some agrochemicals used for crop protection are absorbed by the roots prior to translocation to the rest of the plant. To be absorbed by the root, the agrochemical must first be transported through the soil, often by water.

Four new geranylgeranyl diphosphate analogs with shifted double bonds were synthesized and together with the known analog iso‐GGPP I converted with 14 diterpene synthases. While two substrate analogs were not accepted by the enzymes, the other three analogs yielded compounds with skeletons that are not observed in nature.

Abstract Several species of Lepidoptera with caterpillars bearing urticating hairs are increasing their range in metropolitan France from year to year, such as the pine processionary (Thaumetopoea pityocampa Denis et Schiffermüller 1775) whose presence was historically limited to the south of France, and which is gradually being observed in the north ...
