Isolation, characterization and evaluation of mosquitocidal activity of Lysinibacillus strains obtained from Culex pipiens larvae

Three strains-C107, C207, and C307-of sporeforming Gram-positive motile rod-shaped bacteria were isolated from dead larvae of Culex pipiens in La Plata city, Argentina. The three bacterial strains have different phenotypic and molecular characteristics. A comparative analysis of their 16S rRNA gene...
