[Method] The conidia and mycelia were observed by optical microscope. The pathogenic microorganism was identified on the basis of its culture characters and the optical morphologies of the conidia and mycelia, and its biological characteristics and pathogenicity were preliminarily studied. [Result] The pathogenic microorganism isolated from the dead fly was a new strain of Verticillium lecanii. The new strain of V. lecanii was numbered as KMZW-1. The colonies of V. lecanii KMZW-1 grew fastest on potato dextrose agar medium （PDA） at 29 ℃ and pH 6.0. The LC50 of its spore suspension to the adults of B. peregrine, Lucilia sericata, Musca domestic, Piophila casei and Drosophila melanogaster were 9.50×10^5, 4.58×10^7, 4.06×10^7, 4.10×10^3 and 1.05×10^7 conidia/ml, respectively. The LT50 were 6.86, 8.17, 8.16, 8.12 and 3.22 d, respectively. [Conclusion] V. lecanii KMZW-1 is an active pathogenic microorganism to control the adults of five fly species.展开更多

Both isolates have interesting known properties for the production of high concentrations of chitinases （ATCC26854）, and an outstanding pathogenic activity against the green cabbage aphid, Brevicorine brassiacae （L.）. The isolates were grown on thirteen different liquid media, which had been used to produce other entomopathogenic Hyphomycetes. Experiments were carried out at 27 -4- 1 ℃ with a 12：12 photoperiod using shake flasks. The production of spores was quantified during a seven days period, and the effects of the media were evaluated by determining spore concentration and morphology. Submerged conidia yields were higher with ATCC26854 than with V3 in all thirteen media, while higher concentrations （5.3×10^9, 4.6 ×10^9 and 3.4 ×10^9 conidia/mL） were found with ATCC26854 isolate in the Camaron, Minerales and Jenkins-Prior medium, respectively; lower yields （2.3 ×10^8, 2.2 ×10^8 and 2.3 ×10^8 conidia/mL） were found with the V3 isolate in Catroux, TKI and Camaron media, respectively. Spore production curves were adjusted to different sigmoid models. The process was better explained by the Richards model （r^2 = 0.99）. Concerning conidia morphology, submerged conidia seemed to look like aerial conidia, but they were different in size （ATCC26854 2.73-6.99 μm and V3 5.28-14.29 μm）; however, the dimensions fall within the ranges reported for L. lecanii. The analysis of shake flask cultures with the Richards model allowed selecting two low-cost liquid medium, Camaron and Jenkins-Prior, for scaling up conidia production for use in aphid biological control programs.展开更多
