Ultrastructure, Physiology, and Biochemistry of Bacillus Thuringiensis

An improved high-performance liquid chromatography separation was developed to detect and quantify beta-exotoxin production in Bacillus thuringiensis culture supernatants Exotoxin production was assigned to a plasmid in five strains, from three subspecies (B thuringiensis subsp thuringiensis serotype 1, B thuringiensis subsp tolworthi serotype 9, and B thuringiensis subsp darmstadiensis serotype 10) A new exotoxin, called type II beta-exotoxin in this report, was discovered in B thuringiensis subsp morrisoni serotype 8ab, purified, and partially characterized This material is more specific than type I beta-exotoxin and is very active against the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata

Identification of beta-exotoxin production, plasmids encoding beta-exotoxin, and a new exotoxin in Bacillus thuringiensis by using high-performance liquid chromatography.
