Phenotypic and genetic diversity among Bacillus sphaericus strains isolated in Brazil, potentially useful as biological control agents against mosquito larvae.

Research in microbiology - 1 Mar 1999

da Silva K R, Rabinovitch L, Seldin L

Abstract excerpt

Thirty mosquitocidal strains of Bacillus sphaericus isolated from different sources and localities in Brazil were characterized phenotypically and genetically to determine their relationship. Among the strains tested, 93.3% were shown to be resistant to lincomycin, 96.6% to novobiocin, 60% to chloramphenicol and all strains were resistant to streptomycin. Resistance to HgCl2, NiSO4.6H2O and CuSO4 was observed in...
