Brevibacillus laterosporus as perspective source of new bioinsecticides

Abstract

The paper discusses the main features of Brevibacillus laterosporus bacilli as bioinsecticides for pest control, as well as perspective sources for searching the novel cancerolytic substances of microbial origin. It has been established that the culture of B. laterosporus is widespread in Armenia as a highly active producer of protein inclusions against leaf beetles. Isolated strains of B. laterosporus can be used as an alternative to biological larvicides, which are produced on the basis of B. thuringiensis and B. sphaericus.
