Abstract
In this study, the kinetic behavior of Sf9 and Sf21 cells used in the production of a baculovirus biopesticide to control the pest of corn Spodoptera frugiperda was analyzed. Kinetic variables such as maximum specific growth rate, cell productivity, mean rate of infection, as well as the mean rate of occlusion body production were determined during the infection of these cell-lines with the extracellular virus of the S. frugiperda nucleopolyhedrovirus (SfMNPV). The Sf9 cell-line resulted in better viral production results (5.0 x 10(8) OB/mL) than the Sf21 cell-line (2.5 x 10(8) OB/mL).
