Morris, O.N. | Kanagaratnam, P. | Converse, V.
Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. aizawai (HD133) was grown in culture media in which dextrose was a common carbon source and 30 different agricultural products and by-products were tested as the main nitrogen sources. These products included legumes, cereals, animal proteins, leaf proteins, yeasts, oilseeds, tubers, and casamino acid. Of the 30 products tested, cotton-seed meal, defatted soy flour, and corn gluten meal were the most efficient substrates for the production of spore-crystal biomass and endotoxin potency. The carbohydrate/nitrogen ratios for these additives ranged from 0.3 to 0.5 and the glutamic acid content of their proteins from 9.2 to 16.0%. There was no close relationship between the estimates of the amounts of endotoxin produced and the potency of the product when fed to bertha armyworm, Mamestra configurata.
