Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving the purification process for spores of an intracellular fungal parasite that harms honey bees and increases their vulnerability to other pathogens.
- By incorporating 2 mm beads and enzymatic treatments with collagenase and trypsin, researchers significantly increased the yield of spores extracted from the honey bee midgut.
- The optimal treatment duration was found to be one hour, and a simple filtration method effectively removed cell debris, making this technique useful for purifying other similar fungal spores as well.
The green peach aphid (), a plant pest, and gray mold disease, caused by , affect vegetables and fruit crops all over the world. To control this aphid and mold, farmers typically rely on the use of chemical insecticides or fungicides. However, intensive use of these chemicals over many years has led to the development of resistance.
