FRAKSINASI PROTEIN TOKSIN BARU DARI BAKTERI PHOTORHABDUS ISOLAT LOKAL UNTUK MEMBERANTAS LARVA NYAMUK AEDES AEGYPTI

Abstract

Photorhabdus luminescens strains isolated from Indonesia is enteric bacterium that is found in association with entomopathogenic nematodes Heterorhabditis indicus isolated in the Ngadas-Jawa Timur, Indonesia. When grown in peptone broth, in the absence of the nematodes, the bacteria produc a protein toxin complex that is lethal when given orally into the hemolymph of Aedes aegypti larvae.
