Characterization of midgut microbiome of < em > Anopheles stephensi < /em > Liston

CONCLUSION: This is a unique study on diversity of microbiota of An. stephensi from breeding water, developmental stages and adults. Different culture media used enhanced the isolation of diverse bacteria. The presence of Micrococcus and Leucobacter in different life stages indicates their adaptation in An. stephensi as symbionts which need further evaluation for their role in paratransgenesis.PMID:34818867 | DOI:10.4103/0972-9062.289392
