Bacillus thuringiensis and Its Pesticidal Crystal Proteins
E. Schnepf,Neil Crickmore,J. Van Rie,Didier Lereclus,J. Baum,Jerald S. Feitelson,Daniel R. Zeigler,Donald H. Dean +7 more
TL;DR: Researchers are reporting promising results in engineering more-useful toxins and formulations, in creating transgenic plants that express pesticidal activity, and in constructing integrated management strategies to insure that these products are utilized with maximum efficiency and benefit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Revision of the Nomenclature for the Bacillus thuringiensis Pesticidal Crystal Proteins
Neil Crickmore,Daniel R. Zeigler,Jerald S. Feitelson,E. Schnepf,J. Van Rie,Didier Lereclus,J. Baum,Donald H. Dean +7 more
TL;DR: A new nomenclature, based on hierarchical clustering using amino acid sequence identity, is proposed, consisting of 133 crystal proteins comprising 24 primary ranks are systematically arranged.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gene sequences useful for predicting relatedness of whole genomes in bacteria.
TL;DR: The proposal that sequence analysis of a small set of protein-encoding genes could reliably assign novel strains or isolates to bacterial species is strongly supported.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origins of 168, W23, and other Bacillus subtilis legacy strains.
Daniel R. Zeigler,Zoltán Prágai,Sabrina Rodriguez,Bastien Chevreux,Andrea Muffler,Thomas J. Albert,Renyuan Bai,Markus Wyss,John B. Perkins +8 more
TL;DR: Comparisons showed that 168, its siblings (122, 160, and 166), and the type strains NCIB 3610 and ATCC 6051 are highly similar and are likely descendants of the original Marburg strain, although the 168 lineage shows genetic evidence of early domestication.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Geobacillus paradox: why is a thermophilic bacterial genus so prevalent on a mesophilic planet?
TL;DR: Examination of Geobacilli genome sequences reveals that they are endowed with a battery of sensors, transporters and enzymes dedicated to hydrolysing plant polysaccharides, enabling them to be mobilized in the atmosphere and transported long distances.
