Macronuclei and micronuclei of ciliates have related genomes, with macronuclei developing from zygotic micronuclei through programmed DNA rearrangements. While Paramecium tetraurelia wild-type strain 51 and mutant strain d48 have the same micronuclear genome, qualitative differences between their macronuclear genomes have been described, demonstrating that programmed DNA rearrangements could be...

Chemical insecticides may be toxic and cause environmental degradation. Consequently, biological control for insects represents an alternative with low ecological impact. In this work, three soil isolates (A21, A51 and C17) from different regions of the Cuban archipelago were identified, characterized and evaluated against Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus. The new isolates were compared...
