Adsorption of Toxic Metals and Control of Mosquitos-borne Disease by Lysinibacillus sphaericus: Dual Benefits for Health and Environment

This study found combined metal adsorption and larval toxicity associated with three strains of L. sphaericus [III(3)7, OT4b.31, and CBAM5]. This suggests that a combination of these strains shows strong dual potential for biological control of mosquitos in heavy metal-contaminated areas and remediate the heavy metal contamination as well.
