A standard powder of IPS-82 was included in the assay for comparison. Good . growth was obtained in all the media and all powders were effective against the two types of mosquito larvae. Media with the basal medium formulation of Institute Pasteur Paris were the most effective. Molasses III media was also very favorable. The concentrations required to kill 50% of the larvae of Culex pipiens and Anopheles stephensi for these two were as follows: - Media with the basal medium formulation of Institute Pasteur Paris: 24hr. Lc50 and it's 95% confidence limits of Culex pipiens and Anopheles stephensi = 0.0025,0.0031,0.0018 mg/lit 0.1792,0.2603,0.1508 mg/lit - Molasses III Media: 24hr. Lc50 and it's 95% confidence limits of Culex pipiens and Anopheles stephensi = 0.0103,0.0115,0.0092 mg/lit 0.1994,0.2223,0.1769 mg/lit The investigation shows that these media can be used for the production of B.thuringiensis H-14 primary powder. }, URL = {http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1254-en.html}, eprint = {http://mjiri.iums.ac.ir/article-1-1254-en.pdf}, journal = {Medical Journal of the Islamic Republic Of Iran}, doi = {}, year = {1988} }
