Journal ArticleDOI

Purification of the insecticidal toxin in crystals of Bacillus thuringiensis.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the trypsin-resistant polypeptide represents the active insecticidal toxin of the crystal and was active by injection and ingestion.
Journal ArticleDOI

An ABC transporter from Bacillus thuringiensis is essential for β-exotoxin I production

TL;DR: The demonstration that berAB is required for beta-exotoxin I production and/or resistance in B. thuringiensis adds an adenine nucleotide analog to the wide range of substrates of the superfamily of ABC proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combined analysis of supernatant-based feeding bioassays and PCR as a first-tier screening strategy for Vip -derived activities in Bacillus thuringiensis strains effective against tropical fall armyworm.

TL;DR: Results suggest the insecticidal effectiveness of putative VIPs in B. thuringiensis isolates can be preliminarily estimated by the use of supernatant‐derived total protein in feeding experiments, though only in a limited manner.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of shear stress on cultivation of Bacillus thuringiensis for thuringiensin production

TL;DR: It was found that shear stress had a significant effect on thuringiensin production during the stationary phase, and by decreasing the agitation speed during the static phase, product formation was increased up to 43%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correspondence of High Levels of Beta-Exotoxin I and the Presence of cry1B in Bacillus thuringiensis

TL;DR: It is concluded that strains carrying cry1B and vip2 genes also possess, on the same plasmid, genetic determinants necessary to promote high levels of production of β-exotoxin I.
