This volume offers a thorough assessment by recognized experts of the latest research into it. Editor(s): Sansinenea, Estibaliz. Num Pages: 392 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PSA; PSG; TCB; TVB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 28. Weight in Grams: 771.
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been used as a biopesticide in agriculture, forestry and mosquito control because of its advantages of specific toxicity against target insects, lack of polluting residues and safety to non-target organisms. The insecticidal properties of this bacterium are due to insecticidal proteins produced during sporulation. Despite these ecological benefits, the use of Bt biopesticides has lagged behind the synthetic chemicals. Genetic improvement of Bt natural strains, in particular Bt recombination, offers a promising means of improving efficacy and cost-effectiveness of Bt-based bioinsecticide products to develop new biotechnological applications. On the other hand, the different Bacillus species have ... Read more
