Bacterial load in larvae, pupae and sand flies from chow inoculated with GFP-transformed B. subtilis. There is an average increase of 34% in CFU count when homogenates from each developmental stage were plated onto non-selection (A) versus selection (B) media. The increase in CFU count on non-selection media appears to correlate well with the calculated rate of plasmid loss for B. subtilis for this system.
