Symbiotes of Planthoppers : I. The Isolation of Intracellular Symbiotes from the Smaller Brown Planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus FALLEN(Hemiptera : Delphacidae)

抄録

Two yeast-like microorganisms were isolated from the eggs of the smaller brown planthopper, Laodelphax striatellus FALLEN. They grew both on solid and liquid media. By using immunological techniques with the antisera against those strains, they could be identified with the intracellular symbictes present in the eggs, the ovaries of adult female, and the fat bodies of abdomen of the insects.
