The effects of commercial Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner spore preparations on Galleria mellonella L. (Lepidoptera, pyralidae) in the Laboratory.

Investigations into the effects of aerobic bacteria, belonging to the cereus group, on insects are very numerous and important advances in this field have been made during the last decade. Workers have shown that strains of crystalliferous bacteria, known under the names of Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner and Bacillus entomocidus Heimpel and Angus, are highly virulent and specific to Lepidopterous larvae. Several workers have reported that Galleria mellonella L. has a variable susceptibility to Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner.
