Bacillus Popilliae

Spores of the insect pathogen Bacillus popilliae Dutky have been formed in vitro from vegetative cultures. The procedure results reproducibly in 0.1 to 0.3% spore formation in cells of colonies grown on a solid medium under strictly denned conditions. Sporulation requires a selected strain of the organism, NRRL B-2309S, a relatively large and specific concentration of certain yeast extracts, a specific type of agar, the complete absence of glucose, the presence of acetate, and a pH within the range 7.2 to 7.5. Spore formation occurs slowly during 2- to 4-week incubation periods in surface colonies present in limited numbers on agar plates. Some of the spores formed in this manner survive heating for 15 minutes at 80 °C, and vegetative cultures derived from such spores are pathogenic via injection for larvae of the Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica Newman.
