“…The presence of these organic compounds promotes bacterial growth and activates genes related to toxin production, leading to a higher production efficiency of these compounds, using materials that would be discarded [7,35]. A wide variety of commercial culture media and industrial substrates have been tested for optimizing Bt production [15,18,24,61] using wastes from starch industry, sewage plants, the poultry industry, slaughterhouses, agro-business and restaurants [15]. A recent study used a cost-effective liquid culture media based on agricultural raw materials (edible leguminous seeds, corn, wheat bran, dry palm, date pulps, and corn forages) and agroindustrial wastes (dry dates palm pits and olive mill solid wastes) for spores and delta-endotoxins production by a B. thuringiensis subsp.…”

Background Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a widely used biopesticide. The bioinsecticide based on Bt is obtained by fermentation, but the substrates currently used for its production constitute ingredients of high commercial value. In this context, the use of agro-industrial residues as substrates is an alternative to make the fermentation process viable on a large scale, in addition to minimizing environmental problems and contributing to the destination of these residues for biotechnological purposes. Results In the first part of this study, a previously isolated spore forming soil bacteria (Bv5) harboring and expressing a novel cry 8A gene was confirmed as B. thuringiensis based on its morphological characteristics, Gram staining, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and genome sequencing. Bv5 was established as a Gram-positive spore forming bacteria with ellipsoidal spores and small round toxins. Bv5 genome comprised of the 5.30 Mb chromosome and two megaplasmids of 450 kb and 261 kb, respectively, with cry 8A gene located on the smallest megaplasmid. In the second part of the study, the physiological profile of the Bv5 strain during fermentation in different agro-industrial biowastes (cassava wastewater, orange pulp wash and whey) was analyzed. The fermentation experiment was divided into two stages. In the first stage, the agro-industrial waste with or without salts with the best results for biomass, spores and proteins production was selected. In the second stage, the effect of the selected medium in original and diluted form with the C:N balance was evaluated, in two different fermentation times (72 h and 96 h). Pulp wash enriched with salts was selected as the most suitable medium for the growth of Bv5 strain in the first stage. In the second stage pulp wash (without dilution) with the addition of salts, and with nitrogen supplementation, was considered the best for cell growth, spore and toxin production by Bv5. Conclusions To conclude, our study provide a new alternative for bio-waste from the orange juice industry, as well as potential culture medium for the Bt commercial scale production.

Aims:The aim of this study was downstream processing of moquitocidal toxins produced by Lysinibacillus sphaericus (L. sphaericus) and Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) under solid state fermentation. Methodology and results: Two mosquitocidal strains (L. sphaericus and Bti) were grown separately in trays under solid state fermentation for toxin production. The best conditions for extraction of crude toxins from fermented solids of both cultures were tap water at 5-50 °C, for 10 min under static conditions. Also, concentrated mosquitocidal toxins were efficiently extracted from fermented solids by 4 constitutive additions of 500 mL tap water to 1 kg of fermented culture at room temperature (25 °C) for 5 min each under static conditions. Both extracted toxins were formulated with talcum powder and they were stable for 8 months at room temperature. Conclusion, significance and impact of study: It is very important to study the operating conditions for mosquitocidal toxins extraction from solid state fermentation (SSF) and its formulation in cost effective manner.
