أجريت هذه الدّراسة لتقدير فاعليّة سبع عزلات محليّة من جنس البكتريا Bacillus لمكافحة يرقات فراشة الشمع الكبيرة .Galleria mellonella L في مخابر الهيئة العامة للبحوث العلمية الزراعية عام 2012، جُمعت اليرقات المصابة من أقراص الشمع المخزنة، و عُزلت البكتريا من الجنس Bacillus من اليرقات الميتة، أو التي ظهر عليها أعراض مرضيّة، على شكل بقع بنية مسودة على جدار الجسم (الكيوتيكل). فُحصت البكتريا بعد تنميتها على الوسط الغذائي T3 و عُرفت اعتماداً على الاختبارات البيوكيميائية، و اختُبرت فاعليتها على مستعمرة نقية من يرقات فراشة الشمع ضمن ظروف المخبر. بيّنت نتائج الاختبارات البيوكيميائية أنّ العزلات تتبع للنوع Bacillus thuringiensis . كانت القدرة الإمراضية متباينة ما بين العزلات، فقد كانت العزلة Bt5 الأكثر كفاءة في قتل يرقات فراشة الشمع الكبيرة بفاعلية قدرها 72.41%، متفوقةً معنويّاً على جميع العزلات المختبرة عند مستوى احتمالية 0.01، و تفوقت العزلة Bt1 معنويّاً على الشاهد، و ظاهريّاً مع العزلات الأخرى و بفاعلية قدرها 27.59%، بينما كان الفارق ظاهرياً بين العزلات Bt2، Bt3، Bt4، Bt6 وBt7 و الشاهد عند مستوى الاحتمالية ذاته.
This study was carried out to determine the efficiency of local Bacillus isolates to
control large wax moth larvae (Galleria mellonella L.) at GCSAR laboratory in 2012.
Infected larvae were collected from stored wax combs, and the bacteria Bacillus
genus were isolated from dead larvae, or that showing disease symptoms of black
brown spots on larvae cuticle. Bacterium was grown on T3 medium and identified
according to biochemical tests, and the efficacy of isolates was determined on pure
colonies of larvae. The results of biochemical tests showed that the isolates belong
to Bacillus thuringiensis. Isolates were different in pathogenicity. Bt5 isolate was
the most efficient to kill the larvae of large wax moth (72.4 %), and significantly
superior all other isolates (p ≤ 0.01). Bt1 isolate showed a significant difference
with control but non-significant difference with Bt2, Bt3, Bt4, Bt6 and Bt7 isolates.
