Özet

Cydalima perspectalis (Walker 1859), the boxwood moth, is one of the important invasive pests spreading rapidly throughout Europe within a few years. The objective of the current research was to determine bacteria associated with Cydalima perspectalis. We isolated 10 culturable bacteria species from larvae of the pest according to their colony morphology. The isolates were identified as Curtobacterium oceanosedimentum (CP1), Ciceribacter selenitireducens (CP2), Okibacterium fritillariae (CP3), Enterobacter pseudoroggenkampii 155092 (CP4), Staphylococcus xylosus (CP6), Bacillus siamensis (C23), Bacillus toyonensis (C25), Rhodococcus sovatensis (C27), Bacillus velezensis (C28) and, Streptomyces durocortorensis (C29) on the basis of their physiological, biochemical, and molecular characteristics. Future studies are planned to determine the insecticidal effect of the isolates on the pest.
