Abstract:
The fermentation conditions of
Bt33、
Bt53、
BtHB isolates of
Bacillus thuringiensis, which were high toxicity to
Lepidoptera insect, were studied.The results indicated that the optimum culture conditions for all tested isolates were:30℃, pH 7.5, rotating speed 180 rpm.The optimum culture time for
Bt33 and
Bt53 isolates was 40 hours, while that for
BtHB was 36 hours.And the optimum air volume for
Bt33 and
Bt53 isolates was 9/10 (container volume-medium volume/container volume), while that for
BtHB was 19/20.
