Toxicity pattern of an E. coli cosmid clone “PtC1015” against the insect larvae. The clone was bio-assayed via intrahemocoel injection into the larvae that caused death within 24 h. (A) The PtC1015 clone was injected into the hemocoel of G. mellonella larvae, showed a floppy appearance, indicating “make caterpillars floppy” characteristics; (B) as control of A, E. coli XL1-Blue MRF` harboring plasmid SuperCos1 was injected to G. mellonella larva, indicating no insecticidal activity; (C) the PtC1015 clone was injected into the hemocoel of T. molitor larvae, which caused death within 24 h; (D) as control of C, E. coli XL1-Blue MRF` harboring plasmid SuperCos1 was injected to T. molitor larva, indicating no insecticidal activity.
