    Identification of Two Species of Yeast-like Symbiotes in the Brown Planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens

    To determine the species of the yeast-like symbionts (YLS) in the brown planthoppers (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens, YLS were first isolated and purified by ultracentrifugation from the fat bodies of BPH, and then 18S...
