Name: Kevin Daza Botina Article: Midgut bacteria required for Bacillus thuringiensis insecticidal activity
Glossary Bacillus Thurigiensis: Gram-positive bacteria used for the biological control of lepidoptera E.coli: Gram-negative bacteria found in the digestive tract of animals and humans Septicemia: is the presence of bacteria in the blood Hemolymph: circulatory fluid of some invertebrates Strain: cell population of a single species Spore: it is a microscope body formed by protein and genetic material whose purpose is the dispersion and survival Lysis: rupture of the cell membrane or of a bacterium Lepidoptera: is an order of flying insects known as butterflies Hemocoel: he primary body cavity of most invertebrates, containing circulatory fluid. Crystalline protein: is a toxin released by Bacillus Thuringiensis
Idea principal The main idea of the article is that bacillus thrigiensis depends on an interaction with the intestinal bacteria of the lepidopteran to cause cell lysis that would lead to the death of the larvae that attack the crops.
la idea principal del artículo es que bacillus thrigiensis depende de una interacción con las bacterias intestinales del lepidóptero para poder provocar lisis celular que traeria la muerte de las larvas que atacan a los cultivos Idea secundaria: 1) Bacillus thuringiensis is the most widely applied biological insecticide and is used to manage insects that affect forestry and agriculture and transmit human and animal pathogens / Bacillus thuringiensis es el insecticida biológico de mayor aplicación y se utiliza para controlar insectos que afectan la silvicultura y la agricultura y transmite patógenos humanos y animales
2) Al aplicar concentraciones de antibioticos a las larvas reduce la mortalidad de las misma por accion de la protina cristalina producidas por B.Thrugiensis/ When applying concentrations of antibiotics to the larvae it reduces the mortality of the same ones by action of the crystalline protin produced by B.Thrugiensis
3) B. thuringiensis the toxin-induced mortality typically takes 2-5 days, while the Mortality induced by starvation often takes 7-10 days 4)
Porque escogí el articulo
yo escogi este articulo por que me parece muy interesante el potencial que tenemos estos microorganismos gracias a la producción de sus metabolitos primarios, secundario y su amplio uso en diferentes industrias lo cual ayuda a reemplazar el uso de químicos y contribuir al medio ambiente I chose this article because I think it is very interesting the potential that we have these microorganisms thanks to the production of their primary, secondary metabolites and their wide use in different industries which helps to replace the use of chemicals and contribute to the environment
