Enhanced pathogenicity of an entomopathogen, X. hominickii ANU101 against S. exigua, by addition of sEH inhibitor. The inhibitors include TPPU (ʽC1ʼ), PTUPB (ʽC2ʼ), AUDA (ʽC3ʼ), AEPU (ʽC4ʼ), t-AUCB (ʽC5ʼ), t-TUCB (ʽC6ʼ), c-TUCB (ʽC7ʼ), and AUCB (ʽC8ʼ). Control treatments used DMSO (‘DM’) or PBS used to dissolve inhibitors or bacteria, respectively. Inhibitor treatment used 0.1 μg per larva. Bacterial treatment used 10⁴ CFU. (A) Insecticidal activities of single treatments by injection to L5 larvae. (B) Insecticidal activities of mixed treatment with bacteria and inhibitor. Mortality was assessed 4 days after treatment. Each treatment used 10 larvae and was replicated three times. Different letters indicate significant differences among means at Type I error = 0.05 (LSD test).
