Poly-β-hydroxybutyrate Metabolism Is Unrelated to the Sporulation and Parasporal Crystal Protein Formation in Bacillus thuringiensis
Poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a natural polymer synthesized by many bacteria as a carbon-energy storage material. It was accumulated maximally prior to the spore formation but was degraded during the process of sporulation in Bacillus thuringiensis. Intriguingly, B. thuringiensis also accumulates large amounts of insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs) during sporulation, which requires consider...
متن کاملConverting bacteriophage for sporulation and crystal formation in Bacillus thuringiensis.
Bacteriophage TP-13, a converting phage for sporulation and crystal formation in Bacillus thuringiensis, was isolated from soil. The phage converted anoligosporogenic (sporulation frequency, 10(-8), acrystalliferous mutant to spore positive, crystal positive at a high frequency. Each plaque formed by TP-13 in a lawn of sensitive cells contained spores and crystals. These spores were heat stable...
متن کاملPhysiology of sporeforming bacteria associated with insects: minimal nutritional requirements for growth, sporulation, and parasporal crystal formation of Bacillus thuringiensis.
A defined medium is described in which 18 strains of Bacillus thuringiensis representing the 12 established serotypes grow, sporulate, and produce a parasporal crystal. This minimal medium contains glucose and salts supplemented with either aspartate, glutamate, or citrate. These organic acids are required and cannot be replaced by vitamin mixtures or succinate even though succinate is taken up...
متن کامل6S-1 RNA function leads to a delay in sporulation in Bacillus subtilis.
We have discovered that 6S-1 RNA (encoded by bsrA) is important for appropriate timing of sporulation in Bacillus subtilis in that cells lacking 6S-1 RNA sporulate earlier than wild-type cells. The time to generate a mature spore once the decision to sporulate has been made is unaffected by 6S-1 RNA, and, therefore, we propose that it is the timing of onset of sporulation that is altered. Inter...
متن کاملSerological Studies on the Formation of Protein Parasporal Inclusions in Bacillus Thuringiensis
A strain of Bacillus thuringiensis has been isolated, and methods have been developed for separation of the crystalline, parasporal inclusions in a pure form. Normal sporulation with concomitant crystal formation takes place when cells are incubated under suitable conditions in a nutrient free medium. Serological techniques have been used to study the origin and development of the crystals. Rab...
