摘要
Bacillus sphaericus 2362 strains transformed with the plasmid pUB110 (4.5 kb) and plasmids derived from it, pLDT103 (7.6 kb) and pLDT117 (9.3 kb), were able to recycle (spore germination, vegetative growth, sporulation) in larvae of Culex quinquefasciatus. During the course of recycling, the pUB110 vector and the recombinant plasmid pLDT103 were stable (100 and 99.2%, respectively). However, the recombinant plasmid pLDT117 exhibited 23% segregational instability. Isolates which lost pLDT117 during recycling retained the one large plasmid native to B. sphaericus 2362. © 1991.
