A bacterial disease, flacherie, which is more prevalent in silkworms causes heavy loss to the silk industry. This disease is typified by the flaccid condition of the affected larvae and caused by bacteria and non-occluded viruses individually and in combination. It is one of the major contributing factors to cocoon crop loss in India. The present work aims to isolate Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) residing in the gut of Eri silkworm and decipher its antagonistic activity against selected pathogens of silkworm which are responsible for causing flacherie in silkworm. Lactic acid bacteria Ligilactobacillus salivarius was isolated from the midgut of Eri silkworm and it exhibited antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus vulgaris and Bacillus thuringiensis. Other than preventive measures, no remedial measure, so far, have been developed to check the infection and further spread of the disease. In this context, the present study reveals the role of LAB residing in the gut of Eri silkworm and its essential role in formulating probiotic for Eri culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
