- Systemic and multidisciplinary approach to identify new insecticides produced by insect symbionts, BP.PD
Abstract
The continuous pressure on food production due to population growth and awareness of the need to practice ecologically safe methods of food production will require the development of new insecticides that allow the practice of sustainable agriculture. This fact highlights the importance of exploitation of new niches with potential for production of bioactive natural molecules that can b...
- Diversity, ecology and biotechnological potential of the symbiotic bacteriofauna associated with insects, BP.PD
Abstract
Insects are well known organisms by their abundance and correspond to more than half of the biological diversity in Earth. The species richness and the diversity of modes of life of insects are a result of a series of adaptations during their evolutionary history, but the diversification in their life histories were quite influenced by their association with symbiotic microorganisms. In...
- Genome-mining for exploration of new insecticidal compounds produced by insect-associated bacterial symbionts, BE.EP.PD
Abstract
Microorganisms present the ability to produce numerous biologically active compounds of proven value to human and veterinary medicine and agriculture. The use of microorganisms isolated in unexplored niches stands out as a promising strategy for the identification of new metabolites. One of such niches is represented by insect-associated bacterial symbionts. Due to difficulties in the i...
