LC50 of the Peptide Produced by the Entomopathogenic Fungus Nomuraea rileyi (Farlow) Samson Active Against Third Instar Larvae of Anticarsia gemmatalis (Lep.: Noctuidae)
The entomopathogenic fungus Nomuraea rileyi (Farlow) Samson produced a peptide active against Anticarsia gemmatalis 3rd instar larvae. To produce this peptide, N. rileyi was cultivated aerobically in Saboraud, maltose, yeast-extract broth at 26 ± 1ºC for 12 days, after which the medium was filtered...

Zusammenfassung: | The entomopathogenic fungus Nomuraea rileyi (Farlow) Samson produced a peptide active against Anticarsia gemmatalis 3rd instar larvae. To produce this peptide, N. rileyi was cultivated aerobically in Saboraud, maltose, yeast-extract broth at 26 ± 1ºC for 12 days, after which the medium was filtered and separated in a liquid/liquid extractor, concentrated and the peptide purified chromatographically. The crystals obtained were kept refrigerated until needed for LC50 analysis. The LC50 of this peptide against A. gemmatalis 3rd instar larvae was determined in triplicate experiments using solutions containing 1.0, 0.2, 0.1, 0.01, 0.001 and 0.0001 mg/ml of N. rileyi peptide. The results of these experiments were used to calculate a linear equation in which Y = 6,81176 + 1,01382 * LOGx , giving a LC50 value of 0.0163 mg/ml.
Este trabalho objetivou determinar a CL50 de um peptídeo produzido pelo fungo N. rileyi, para larvas de 3º ínstar de A. gemmatalis. O peptídeo foi produzido através de fermentação aerada, em meio SMY, sob condições controladas por 12 dias. O metabólito foi purificado, utilizando-se de sistemas de cromatografia. Os cristais obtidos foram então armazenados a baixa temperatura para posterior análise da atividade biológica. Os experimentos foram conduzidos em 3 repetições, com tratamentos que consistiram de soluções com 0,0001; 0,001; 0,01; 0,1; 0,2 e 1,0 mg/mL. Através de análise de regressão chegou-se a equação da reta Y = 6,81176 + 1,01382 * LOGx e um valor para CL50 de 0,0163 mg/mL. |
