Abstract excerpt
Highly larvicidal strains of Bacillus sphaericus produce a binary toxin composed of 51 and 42 kDa proteins which binds to sharply delineated regions of the gastric caecum and posterior midgut of susceptible larvae of the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus. To investigate the role of the individual s...
