Spodoptera exigua is one of the most renowned agricultural pest insects and relatively insensitive to Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki strains which are widely used commercial products to control lepidopterans such as Heliothis armigera. In the current study, we have developed a new and efficient approach to screen and breed a B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki strain exhibiting high toxicity against S. exigua while retaining its high toxicity against H. armigera. UV and diethyl sulfate methods were used for mutagenesis, followed by an agar plug plate diffusion assay for preliminary screening of Zwittermicin A over-producing mutants, from which we obtained a mutant strain, designated here as B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki D1-23, with high toxicity against S. exigua. The toxicity of D1-23 against S. exigua and H. armigera was improved by 115.4 and 25.9%, respectively, compared to its parental commercial strain BMB005.
