Genetically engineered (modified) crops (Bacillus thuringiensis crops) and the world controversy on their safety
TL;DR: There is a worldwide controversy about the safety of Bt crops to the environment and mammals, and some researchers support the cultivation of BT crops depending upon the results of their laboratory and field studies on the safety, while others, however, are against Bt crop as they may cause risk to human.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photorhabdus toxins: novel biological insecticides.
TL;DR: Following concerns over the potential for insect resistance to insecticidal Bacillus thuringiensis toxins expressed in transgenic plants, there has been recent interest in novel biological insecticides.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development and potential of genetically engineered viral insecticides.
TL;DR: The development and potential of genetically engineered viral insecticides was discussed in this paper, with the focus on the potential of using genetically engineered viruses in the field of insecticide development.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of the 20-Kilodalton Helper Protein on Cry1Ac Production and Spore Formation in Bacillus thuringiensis
TL;DR: The results indicated that P20 is an effective tool for optimizing protein production in vivo and severely degraded Cry1Ac was severely degraded during synthesis; this degradation was effectively relieved by P20, which resulted in enhanced production.

Analysis of membrane and surface protein sequences with the hydrophobic moment plot.
TL;DR: An algorithm has been developed which identifies alpha-helices involved in the interactions of membrane proteins with lipid bilayers and which distinguishes them from helices in soluble proteins, and suggests four transmembrane helices and a surface-seeking helix in fragment B, the moiety known to have trans Membrane function.

TL;DR: The Gram-positive bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis produces proteins which are specifically toxic to a variety of insect species, and modified genes have been derived from bt2, a toxin gene cloned from one Bacillus strain.
