Different Chitinolytic Bacillus Species to Minimize Termites Attack on Agroforestry: A Review
Different Chitinolytic Bacillus Species to Minimize Termites
Keywords:
Termites, Chitinase, Bacillus species, Chi gene, AgroforestryAbstract
Termites are known to be the most damaging pest around the world specifically in the tropical region. Pakistan is also suffering from this issue. The chemical pesticides and insecticides are broadly used for the control of insects and pests. These chemicals are diversely affecting the environment and beneficial organisms including humans. We aim to find an effective, harmless, and helpful strategy to control the termite’s attack on plants and agroforestry. In this study, we use the online databases of PUBMED, NCBI, Google Scholar, and PMC for the collection of data. In this scenario, we select the microbiological control method which has economic importance as well. Our focus point is to determine chitinolytic bacterial species that have the potential for microbiological control of termites in agroforestry. In this study, we select four (4) Chitinase-producing Bacillus species which include Brevibacillus laterosporus, Bacillus licheniformis, Paenibacillus, and Bacillus thuringiensis which are known for Chitinase production. A comparative study will be done between these species to find the best termiticidal activity. We also identified the genes responsible for Chitinase production. If we overexpress these genes by using CRISPR Cas-9 technology, we will get the maximum amount of Chitinase enzymes which will be sprayed on plants. Additionally, another possibility is if we transfer these genes to plants’ genome, it will produce Chitinase enzymes for their self-defense against termites.
