Özet

In this study, the bacterial diversity of infected and dead larvae of the Brown marmorated stink

bug (Halyomorpha halys, Stål, 1885) and the pathogenic potential of the bacteria on the pest

were investigated. In total, nine culturable bacteria were isolated from Halyomorpha halys and

they were characterized as Staphylococcus aureus (Hh17), Bacillus thuringiensis (Hh18),

Enterobacter hormaechei (Hh19), Acinetobacter sp. (Hh20), Mammaliicoccus sciuri (Hh21),

Bacillus subtilis (Hh22), Lysinobacillus fusiformis (Hh23), Bacillus subtilis (Hh24),

Mammaliicoccus sciuri (Hh25) based to their morphological, biochemical and molecular

characteristics. Bacillus thuringiensis (Hh18) showed 100% and 66% mortality on nymphs and

adults, respectively. In Staphylococcus aureus (Hh17) and Bacillus subtilis (Hh22), mortality

rates were determined as 86% and 46-53% on nymphs and adults, respectively.
