Summary

The effects of culture extracts ofB. thuringiensis Serotype I have been analysed on adult Drosophiles. The thermostable toxin, administered every day, causes a reduction of longevity and fecundity as well as a decrease in the size of the eggs. The various characteristics studied are not sensitive to the toxic effects to the same extent. The method used also made it possible to demonstrate differences in toxicity between the preparations. The signification of these observations is discussed.
