Ice-nucleating active bacteria decrease the cold-hardiness of stored grain insects.
Lee, Richard E.; Strong-Gunderson, Janet M.; Lee, Marcia R.; Davidson, Evelyn C.This report provides further evidence that a freeze-dried, concentrated form of Pseudomonas syringae, an ice-nucleating active bacteria, reduces the cold tolerance of stored grain insect pests. Application of ice-nucleating ... -
Topical application of ice-nucleating-active bacteria decreases insect cold tolerance
Strong-Gunderson, Janet M.; Lee, Richard E.; Lee, Marcia R.The majority of overwintering insects avoid lethal freezing by lowering the temperature at which ice spontaneously nucleates within their body fluids. We examined the effect of ice-nucleating-active bacteria on the ...
