Patent number: 8187618Abstract: Effective sustained release of microbial pesticides in aquatic environments can be achieved by the combination of buoyant particles with a particulate microbial active ingredient. The resulting materials in the form of a particulate have combined density of less than one. The materials are then dispersed into gypsum slurry that is poured into briquette molds, or made into granules or pellets of various sizes, to form a solid, sinking, pest control composition. Once applied in aquatic field sites, the surface of the matrix slowly dissolves, releasing many minute buoyant pesticide laden particles to the water surface over the life of the product. Once at the surface, the particulate microbial pesticide(s) release from the buoyant particles and are distributed throughout the water column to be ingested by susceptible immature filter feeding mosquitoes and pestiferous flies.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2010Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: B2E Micobials LLCInventors: Robert D.

Patent number: 7364728Abstract: This invention is a method for constructing recombinant organisms that produce proteins lethal to the larvae of insects. Nucleotide sequences were isolated from Bacillus popilliae that encode two adjacent, putative genes; orf1 and cryhime1. The cryhime1 sequence was related to other Bacillus popilliae genes that encode proteins active against Scarabaeidae insect larvae. When these nucleotide sequences were transferred to Bacillus thuringiensis, a protein was produced that had a lethal effect on the larvae from Scarabaeidae insects. When the orf1 sequence was removed from the recombinant Bacillus thuringiensis strain, no protein active against Scarabaeidae insect larvae was produced, strongly suggesting that the orf1 sequences are required for expression of the cryhime1 gene.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2005Date of Patent: April 29, 2008Assignee: Phyllom LLCInventors: Shin-ichiro Asano, Mikiko Nozawa, Hisanori Bando

Patent number: 7198797Abstract: A water-free process for converting initially non-larvicidal evaporation suppressant powder into a larvicidal variant possessing utility both for abatement of use by mosquitoes of an open water catchment as a successful breeding site, and for conserving water by suppressing the evaporation of water from the same catchment. Lauryl alcohol is used as a blending agent to facilitate even distribution of mosquito-specific entomopathogens, eg., spores of Bacillus thuringiensis variety Israelensis or Bacillus sphaericus, into the initially non-larvicidal evaporation suppressant powder. Cetyl alcohol and/or stearyl alcohol are the preferred monolayer-formers upon which effective evaporation suppression relies. For a variant larvicidal powder that lacks an effective evaporation suppression property, the same preferred monolayer-formers may be omitted from a blend of mosquito-specific pathogens, lauryl alcohol, and hydrated lime or, alternatively, acidified gypsum.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2002Date of Patent: April 3, 2007Inventor: Robert Neville O'Brien
