14. Filter spores and hyphae out Inject remains to termites Methods : Taking samples for analysis
15. Methods : Preparing termites Pick out worker termites 30 30 30 30 30 30 Experimental set 30 termites per group
16. Methods : Eject supernatant to termites 5x10 7 spores/ml 1x10 8 spores/ml 5x10 7 spores/ml 2.5x10 7 spores/ml PDB medium Sterile water Supernatant Spore control set experimental set 6 5 4 3 2 1
17. Methods : Eject supernatant to termites Inject the termites by micropipette Record the number of dead termites for three day. Repeat the experiment six times
24. Supernatant from Metarhizium anisopliae is efficacious for eliminating Coptotermes curvignathus. The efficiency of supernatant and of spores are not significantly different to eliminate termites. 1. 2. Conclusions
25. The efficiencies of supernatant from varied initial concentrations of spores are not significantly different. 3. Conclusions
26. Discussions Percentage of mortality of termites Percent of mortality (%) Spore 1x10 8 5x10 7 2.5x10 7 Experimental groups
27. Application Basic knowledge Industrial development Effective termite elimination + Decrease the damage of Para Rubber
