Cellular fatty acid analysis as a potential tool for predicting mosquitocidal activity of Bacillus sphaericus strains

Year: 1991

Type: article

Abstract: Gas-liquid chromatography of fatty acid methyl esters and numerical analysis were carried out with 114 Bacillus sphaericus strains. Since only two clusters harbored mosquitocidal strains, this technique could be developed in screening programs to limit bioassays on mosquito larvae. It also allows differentiation of highly homologous strains.
