The efficacy of Bacillus sphaericus and B. thuringiensis israelensis produced on a new potato-based culture medium as well as the conventional culture medium of Luria Bertani was compared against Culex quinquefasciatus in the field. After sporulation, the spores/crystals were harvested and used. The bacterial samples controlled the larvae and pupae for three weeks. Mortality due to the bacterial toxins produced from the new culture medium was very high and comparable to that produced using conventional medium. But the cost for cultivating these bacteria using potato extract was much lower as compared with that of the conventional medium. |
