Potential of five non-spore-forming bacteria, originated from the European cockchafer, Melolontha melolontha (Linnaeus, 1758) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae), on three economic insect pests
2019
Overview
Five non-spore-forming bacteria were isolated from the European cockchafer,
Melolontha melolontha
(
Linnaeus
,
1758
) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae). Their potential was tested against the three economic insect pests, the great spruce bark beetle,
Dendroctonus micans
Kugelann (Coleoptera: Curculionidae); the pine processionary,
Thaumetopoea pityocampa
(Lepidoptera: Thaumetopoeidae); and the gypsy moth,
Lymantria dispar
(Linn.) (Lepidoptera: Erebidae), to find an effective biological control agent. All isolated bacteria were cultured and identified using VITEK bacterial identification systems and 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis. The bacteria were identified as
Enterobacter cloacae
complex (isolate 1M),
Serratia marcescens
(isolate 3M),
Pseudomonas aeruginosa
(isolate 4M),
Kocuria kristinae
(isolate 5M), and
Serratia liquefaciens
(isolate 8M). Laboratory experiments, carried out to evaluate the virulence of these isolates, showed that all isolated bacteria had a pathogenic effect on the tested pests.
