Using Electron Microscope to Test Erosion of Scale Insect’s Shell after Introducing Protease on It

Background:

The purpose of our project is to erode the insects’ shells so that these pests can be eliminated by the pesticides that have a lower toxicity. Our Protease’s gene came from a kind of Fungi named Verticillium lecanii. We have transferred this gene into E. coli, and we have found that this Protease that produced by E. coli was active.
