Isolation of Macrolactin A from a new Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and its aphicidal activity against Rhopalosiphum padi

Abstract

Rhopalosiphum padi is a major infection affecting cereal crops in the boundary area. However, continuous use of chemical pesticides has increased cases of drug resistance in its field population. Therefore, we aimed to verify the insecticidal properties of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens YJNbs21.10 against aphids, isolated to determine the bioactivity of its metabolite Macrolactin A against aphids for the first time.
