Seleção de Bacillus spp. da Amazônia Brasileira portadores de genes Cry e/ou PhaC via síntese Polihidroxiacalnoatos (PHAs) para o controle de Aedes aegypti Linnaeus 1762

Abstract

Insect vectors of tropical diseases such as Ae. Aegypti, the main vector of dengue virus, chikungunya, zika and West Nile virus, are a major problem for public health. One of the major control measures is to control the vector. In this regard, we sought to investigate the biological control of Ae. aegypti; with the use of Bacillus spp .; Amazon isolated from different environments. From the different samples, there was obtained a total of 118 bacterial strains, and 41 strains identified by phenotypic characteristics such as bacilli. Of these, 38 were positive and gram 2 gram negative bacilli. The molecular identification of these strains allowed the identification of 29 strains were characterized in three different genres. The molecular characterization of patients bacilli of Cry4 genes, cry11 and PHAC. Cry4 genes were observed in BtAM41, 2R6.2.1LB lines with no toxicity. The Bio19LB lines, BSBioLB, Bio01LB and Bio011LB presented the cry11 genes, as the larvicidal activity were efficient in both phases of bioassays except Bio011 lineage that any result below 50% in the second stage of bioassays. The 2WISP2, K5NA lines, R8ISP2, R15ISP2, Bio16LB, BtAM125LB, BtAM49LB just presented the PhaC gene. Just BtAM49LB strain was effective in larvicidal activity. Considering the results of the first and second stage, the best results when there were interaction sterile lysed cell supernatant (SN), showing 100% in 72 h. In this sense, it is recommended to study the characterization of metabolites of these strains. The K4NA lines; 103PHAISP2, BtAM220NA; ALP2ISP2, BtAM74LB and PHA50ISP2 bear the cry11 and PHAC genes showed no larvicidal activity above 50% considering it was not observed correlation of genes associated with larvicidal activity. Only Bio19LB strain showed the cry11 gene and Cry4, with larvicidal activity above 50% in the supernatant of lysed cells with interaction with 70% mortality within 72 h. There was no correlation of the phaC gene and Cry isolated, but the best results were in the supernatant of lysed cells with consortium, possibitando the possibility of interaction of molecules with insecticidal activity. So before these results are needed more detailed studies to understand and elucidate the interaction of strains that showed higher larvicidal activity, it is concluded that the strains that showed larvicidal activity above 50% and the same carriers of cry11 genes, Cry4 and PHAC can be associated with other virulence and pathogenicity factors, becoming future potential lines for the control of Ae. Aegypti.
