LLP29 was a Bacillus thuringiensis strain isolated from leaves of Magnolia denudata. According to the results of preliminary analysis, it was highly toxic to mosquitoes and took less time in incubation. In order to characterize this promising strain, the growth rate, lagellar antigen serology, biochemical profile, antibiotic sensitivity and mosquitocidal activities against Aedes aegypti, Ae. albopictus, and Culex quinquefasciatus were tested. It was shown that LLP29 belonged to B. thuringiensis ssp. israelensis (H14). Its mosquitocidal activity was more twofold higher than the control strain IPS82, a Bti mosquitocidal strain used for production. Meanwhile, it had a higher growth rate than IPS82, which would reduce the cost by shortening the production cycle. It was indicated that LLP29 might be a potential biocontrol agent in the control and prevention of mosquitoes and mosquito-borne diseases.
