Abstract: The present invention provides a process for efficiently producing sporangia of Bacillus popilliae containing spores and parasporal bodies having controlling effects on Scarabaeidae insects, and a control agent and controlling method for Scarabaeidae insects obtained by said production process. In a process for producing sporangia of Bacillus popilliae containing spores and parasporal bodies by culturing Bacillus popilliae in a medium containing an adsorbent, the medium contains 0.2-4.0% by weight of glutamic acid.

Abstract: A hair growth inhibitor contains, as an active ingredient, at least one herb selected from the group consisting of phellodendron bark, houttuynia, rice bran, mulberry tree bark, Japanese coptis, thyme, peach seed, nettle, calendula, wild rose and balm mint or the extract thereof and various skin external application compositions such as cosmetic compositions to be used on the outer skin is prepared by mixing these active ingredients with other aqueous phase ingredients and oil phase ingredients according to conventional-methods.

Abstract: The present invention provides a process for producing sporangia of Bacillus popilliae containing spores and parasporal bodies in large numbers per unit volume of medium. In a process for producing sporangia of Bacillus popilliae containing spores and parasporal bodies by culturing Bacillus popilliae in a liquid medium containing an adsorbent, the liquid medium contains 0.1–0.7% by weight of proline.
