Bacillus thuringiensis and their endophytic capabilities
(2017-07)The main characteristic of Bacillus thuringiensis is that during sporulation produces a parasporal inclusion formed by one or more proteinaceous bodies that exhibit insecticidal activity upon ingestion by susceptible ... -
Bacillus thuringiensis: ¿nuevas aplicaciones para un viejo conocido?
(2017-06)Bacillus thuringiensis (B. thuringiensis) se caracteriza principalmente por producir durante la esporulación una inclusión parasporal formada por uno o más cuerpos cristalinos de naturaleza proteica, que son selectivamente ... -
Baculovirus Insecticides in Latin America: Historical Overview, Current Status and Future Perspectives
(2015)Baculoviruses are known to regulate many insect populations in nature. Their host-specificity is very high, usually restricted to a single or a few closely related insect species. They are amongst the safest pesticides, ... -
Biochemical methane potential of sheep manure: Focus in pathogen removal
(International Organization of Scientific Research, 2019-01)Biochemical methane potential (BMP) test is a useful laboratory-scale tool to determine the biodegradability and methane potential from different manure. The aims of this study were to evaluate the BMP of sheep manure and ... -
