title: [Isolation and identification of a killing maggots bacterium].
abstract: A notably killing maggots bacterium was isolated from natural dead maggots in the manure pits in the countryside of Yancheng. Its pathogenicity was confirmed by the law of KOCK. The results of preliminary bioassay show that the pathogen can infect the larvas of greenbottle flies and other larvas of flies in a certain extent, but can't infect animals and fowls. The G + C content of its DNA is 62.46%. The hybridization ratio of its DNA and the Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes' (AS1.1806) is 81.2%. According to Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology Ninth edition, the strain of the bacterium was primarily identified as Pseudomonas pseudoalcaligenes.
