A predictor variable for efficacy of Lagenidium giganteum produced in solid-state cultivation

Abstract

Lagenidium giganteum was cultivated on solid media in the absence of free water and evaluated for efficacy against second-instar Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae in 100-ml bioassays. Bioassay variables included level of media addition, CO2 evolution rate (CER) and cell density. Logistic regression wasperformed on bioassay infection observations to determine if the tested variables were correlated to the probability of attaining at least 80% infection. Both CER (p=0.003) and number of cells (p=0.017) were significantly correlated, while level of media addition was not (p=0.42). Although media addition did not correlate with efficacy, media levels greater than 2 g/l reduced water clarity and infection. Media from cultures younger than 3 days performed poorly under all conditions tested.

*IS THE WORLD BEING  LED TO BELIEVE THAT ONLY "NATURAL" (naturally found in the environment)  BACTERIA AND/OR FUNGUS IS ONLY BEING USED IN MICROBIAL PRODUCTS; BIOPESTICIDES, BIOINSECTICIDES, BIOFUNGICIDES ETC. WHICH ARE BEING USED ON OUR FOOD CROPS, ORNAMENTALS AND/OR USED FOR INSECT CONTROL?   THIS IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE... "MUTANTS" ARE BEING USED THAT THE PUBLIC IS NOT AWARE OF
Are we being led to believe these microbial products are safe??
*It seems that using "mutants" and mutants created using recombinant techniques. (last 2 patents below) doesn’t qualify the claim of "naturally found" bacteria and fungus which are claimed as being the “active ingredient” in microbial biocontrol products.
*When searching the United States Patent Office for the search terms of “Agraquest” and “mutants” the results were twenty (20) United States patents; that were assigned to Agraquest alone and furthermore does not take into account International patents. These patents uses the wording; mutants, mutants thereof and/or recombinant techniques.  There are many MANY more patents that don't list Agraquest as the holder of the patent; but Agraquest's scientists were listed as "inventors" on other company patents. (these are not listed below)
*The reader is invited; NO... encouraged to view the following twenty (20) Agraquest United States patents and decide for themselves whether we can be 100% certain that only “naturally found in the environment” bacteria and/or fungus is being used on our food crops, ornamentals and/or used for insect control.... OR are mutants being used?

Whistle-Blower: Agency Tasked with Protecting American Workers Fails to Protect its Own

By Carole Bass, AlterNet. Posted July 27, 2008.

OSHA, inspect thyself.
As OSHA's director of health standards, Finkel was in charge of establishing permissible exposure limits for toxics in the workplace.Note the word "permissible" -- not to be confused with "safe." Ever since a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling in 1980, OSHA has set exposure limits that are calculated to kill at least one of every 1,000
