Abstract
Production of Microbial Bio-Pesticides from Waste Disposal of Chicken Feathers
Highlights
Chicken feathers, obtainable worldwide, as a cheap bioorganic waste, are an extremely valuable substrates, for the commercial production of bio-pesticide by entomopathogenic bacteria (Bacillus thuringiensis serovar israelensis, Bacillus sphaericus (Bs). thuringiensis serovar israelensis (Bti) and B. sphaericus, Bs), mainly in emerging nations, in the direction of vector control operation
Discarding or handling of these kinds of wastes as untreated disposal without gaining additional profit has led to develop the bio-pesticides by using bioorganic waste substances into cost-effective vector control programs
The investigation spotlights on degradation of the keratin containing chicken feathers by the bacterial strains of B. thuringiensis serovar israelensis (Bti) and Bacillus sphaericus (Bs) which are helpful in the production of endotoxins to destroy the mosquito larvae
Summary
Obtainable worldwide, as a cheap bioorganic waste, are an extremely valuable substrates, for the commercial production of bio-pesticide by entomopathogenic bacteria (Bacillus thuringiensis serovar israelensis, Bti and B. sphaericus, Bs), mainly in emerging nations, in the direction of vector control operation. The investigation spotlights on degradation of the keratin containing chicken feathers by the bacterial strains of B. thuringiensis serovar israelensis (Bti) and Bacillus sphaericus (Bs) which are helpful in the production of endotoxins to destroy the mosquito larvae. The cost of producing these bacteria, utilizing conventional culture media (like LB, NB, NYSM, etc.), is very high.
