Ice-nucleating active bacteria decrease the cold-hardiness of stored grain insects.
Author(s) : LEE R. E. Jr, STRONG-GUNDERSON J. M., LEE M. R., DAVIDSON E. C.
Type of article: Article
Summary
The article describes the use of a bacteria lyophilisat (Pseudomonas syringae) having the property to facilitate the ice nucleation in the tissues during temperature reduction near the freezing point. This property has the benefit of reducing the cold-hardiness of certain insects present in wheat or corn.
