Five isolates demonstrated their capacity to kill the insect larvae. Isolate 2 was considered highly effective against all insects tested; isolates 14 and 27 caused high mortality rates to larvae of <em>G. mellonella</em>, <em>E. postfasciatus</em> and <em>C. sordidus</em>. Isolate 17 was effective against larvae of <em>C. sordidus</em>; isolate 18 against <em>E. postfasciatus</em>. The rest of the isolates tested varied greatly in their ability to kill the larvae of the insects used.</p>}, number={1-2}, journal={The Journal of Agriculture of the University of Puerto Rico}, author={Figueroa, Wilfredo and Román, Jessé and Acosta, Marcos A.}, year={1993}, month={Apr.}, pages={53–60} }
