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.
在新加坡分离出了5株新的高毒性球形芽孢杆菌杀蚊菌株。它们均属于噬菌体8组,其染色体上有二元毒素(51.4 kDa加41.9 kDa)基因,但缺乏100 kDa毒素基因。这些球形芽孢杆菌菌株构成了一个新的亚群,因为此前仅描述过噬菌体8组中的两株弱毒性菌株,而且所有已知的高毒性菌株都同时拥有二元毒素和100 kDa毒素基因。
