Title: | New high-toxicity mosquitocidal strains of Bacillus sphaericus lacking a 100-kilodalton-toxin gene | Authors: | Liu, J.-W. Hindley, J. Porter, A.G. Priest, F.G. |
Issue Date: | 1993 | Citation: | Liu, J.-W.,Hindley, J.,Porter, A.G.,Priest, F.G. (1993). New high-toxicity mosquitocidal strains of Bacillus sphaericus lacking a 100-kilodalton-toxin gene. Applied and Environmental Microbiology 59 (10) : 3470-3473. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | Five new high-toxicity mosquitocidal strains of Bacillus sphaericus were isolated in Singapore. They all belong to phage group 8 and have binary toxin (51.4- plus 41.9-kDa) genes located on the chromosome but lack a 100-kDa- toxin gene. These strains of B. sphaericus constitute a new subgroup, as only two weakly toxic strains in phage group 8 have previously been described and all the known high-toxicity strains have both binary toxin and 100-kDa-toxin genes. | Source Title: | Applied and Environmental Microbiology | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/112176 | ISSN: | 00992240 |
