Development of a cyanobacterial biolarvicide

Development of a cyanobacterial biolarvicide

Results of studies on a larvicidal cyanobacterium that expresses a Bti cryIVD gene fusion are reported. Genetically altered Agmenellum quadruplicatum PR-6 is shown to be toxic to larvae of three major genera of disease-bearing mosquitos. Factors affecting expression of Bti genes in cyanobacteria are...
