Granular Bioplastic Biocontrol Composition

View page
US Patent:
8173179, May 8, 2012
Filed:
Feb 10, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/703257
Inventors:
Hamed K. Abbas - Greenville MS, US
Cesare Accinelli - Bologna, IT
Robert M. Zablotowicz - Cleveland MS, US
Maria L. Sacca - Rome, IT
Jeff Wilkinson - Beaumont TX, US
Assignee:
The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of Agriculture - Washington DC
International Classification:
A01N 65/00
US Classification:
424725
Abstract:
Previous research demonstrated that aflatoxin contamination in corn is reduced by field application of wheat grains pre-inoculated with the non-aflatoxigenic strain NRRL 30797. To facilitate field applications of the biocontrol isolate, a series of laboratory studies were conducted on the reliability and efficiency of replacing wheat grains with the novel bioplastic formulation Mater-Bi to serve as a carrier matrix to formulate this fungus. Mater-Bi granules were inoculated with a conidial suspension of NRRL 30797 to achieve a final cell density of log 7 conidia/granule. Incubation of 20-g soil samples receiving a single Mater-Bi granule for 60-days resulted in log 4. 2 to 5. 3 propagules of /g soil for microbiologically active and sterilized soil, respectively. Increasing the number of granules had no effect on the degree of soil colonization by the biocontrol fungus. In addition to the maintenance of rapid vegetative growth and colonization of soil samples, the bioplastic formulation was highly stable, indicating that Mater-Bi is a suitable substitute for biocontrol applications of NRRL 30797.

Non-Aflatoxigenic Isolates

US Patent:
7361499, Apr 22, 2008
Filed:
Jan 11, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/033352
Inventors:
Hamed K. Abbas - Greenville MS, US
Robert M. Zablotowicz - Cleveland MS, US
Assignee:
The United States of America, as represented by the Secretary of Agriculute - Washington DC
International Classification:
C12P 1/00
A01N 63/04
US Classification:
4352561, 424 935
Abstract:
The ability of two Link isolates (CT3 and K49) to reduce aflatoxin contamination of corn was assessed in a four-year field study (2001 to 2004). Soil was treated with six wheat inoculant treatments: toxigenic isolate F3W4; the non-toxigenic isolate K49; the non-aflatoxigenic isolate CT3, two mixtures of CT3 or K49 with F3W4; and an autoclaved wheat control, applied at 20 kg/ha. In 2001, inoculation with the toxigenic isolate increased corn grain aflatoxin levels by 167% compared to the non-inoculated control, while CT3 and K49 inoculation reduced aflatoxin levels in corn grain by 86% & 60%, respectively. In 2002, inoculation of CT3 and K49 reduced aflatoxin levels by 61% and 76% compared to non-inoculated controls, respectively. In 2001 mixtures of toxigenic and non-toxigenic isolates had little effect on aflatoxin levels, but in 2002 inoculation with mixtures of K49 and CT3 reduced aflatoxin levels 68 and 37% compared to non-inoculated controls, respectively. In 2003 and 2004, a low level of natural aflatoxin contamination was observed (8 ng/g).

Water Dispersible Formulation For Delivery Of Biocontrol Fungi To Reduce Aflatoxin

US Patent:
20090060965, Mar 5, 2009
Filed:
Aug 31, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/848866
Inventors:
Margaret Lyn - Leland MS, US
Hamed K. Abbas - Greenville MS, US
Robert Zablotowicz - Cleveland MS, US
International Classification:
A01N 25/32
A01N 25/12
A01N 63/04
A01P 3/00
US Classification:
424406, 424 935
Abstract:
A formulation containing conidia of non-toxigenic strains of fungi is a useful biocontrol agent for preventing toxin contamination in agricultural commodities, especially those for human and animal consumption such as peanuts, corn, cotton and tree nuts. The formulation of the invention is a water dispersible granule formulation suitable for spraying and includes non-toxigenic and/or non-aflatoxigenic strains capable of inhibiting growth of fungi which produce aflatoxin and further capable of suppressing production of aflatoxin by the toxigenic fungi. A method of preparing the formulation is shown.
