In view of the background of information on Bacillus popilliae Dutky (Beard, 1945) and the reported success of this bacterium in reducing populations of Popillia japonica Newm. (White and McCabe, 1950) and in view of the discovery of a similar bacterium attacking Odontria grubs in New Zealand (Dumbleton, 1945), a survey of microparasites and their possible pathogenicity in scarabaeid larvae was undertaken in Australia as a project supported by a Fulbright award.

Of four diets tested, one based on lima beans and casein was selected as the best and easiest for rearing third instars of Japanse beetles, Popillia japonica Newman. The diet gave the best survival and heaviest pupae and was previously used for rearing larvae of the New Zealand grass grub, Costelytra zealandica (White).

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.

Our collaboration involves groups in Denmark, the U.S.A. Spain and of course New Zealand. Combining ground-based and satellite (IUEandHST) observations we aim to determine accurate and precise stellar fundamental parameters for the components of Magellanic Cloud Eclipsing Binaries as well as the distances to these systems and hence the parent galaxies themselves. This poster presents our latest progress.
