✦ Synopsis

The present situation with regard to the use of baculoviruses in insect control is outlined. By virtue of their high degree of host speciÐcity, they o †er considerable advantages over chemical insecticides, but their practical use is limited by a number of factors, particularly their slow speed of action. Various approaches to the genetic modiÐcation of baculoviruses to overcome these problems are described. These have resulted in improvements in insecticidal activity in laboratory trials which are now being conÐrmed in the Ðeld. Thus, genetically modiÐed baculoviruses have a promising future in pest-control programmes. Our increasing knowledge of the genetic factors which regulate their behaviour is showing how other aspects of their performance may be controlled and exploited.

Time-delay is an important issue in structural control. Applications of unsynchronized control forces due to time-delay may result in a degradation of the control performance and it may even render the controlled structures to be unstable.

Aromatic metabolites in Escherichia coli and other microorganisms are derived from two common precursors: phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and erythrose 4-phosphate (E4P). During growth on glucose, the levels of both E4P and PEP are insufficient for high throughput of aromatics because of the low carbon fl
