Insecticidal Activity of Bacillus thuringiensis Strains Isolated from Soil and Water
We attempted to search novel Bacillus thuringiensis strains that produce crystals with potential utility in plant protection and with higher activity than strains already used in biopesticide production. Seven B. thuringiensis soil and water isolates were used in the research. We predicted the toxicity of their crystals by cry gene identification employing PCR method. The isolate MPU B63 with i...
متن کاملNew combinations of cry genes from Bacillus thuringiensis strains isolated from northwestern Mexico.
Twenty eight Bacillus thuringiensis strains isolated from the Tijuana-Ensenada region of northwestern Mexico were analyzed to determine the distribution of cry and cyt genes. Crystal production by the strains was examined by scanning electron microscopy, which showed the predominance of cubic crystals. Alkaline-dissolved and trypsin activated crystals were also analyzed by SDS-PAGE, yielding ba...
متن کاملCharacterization of extracellular cellulose-degrading enzymes from Bacillus thuringiensis strains
The gram-positive spore-forming bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strains produced novel cellulases which could liberate glucose from soluble cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and insoluble crystalline cellulose. The maximal cellulase activities were obtained after 60 hrs incubation at 28oC in a LB broth medium with 1% CMC. Maximum CMCase activities were got at 40oC and pH 4.0, resp...
متن کاملCharacterization of Cry2-Type Genes of Bacillus Thuringiensis Strains From Soilisolated of Sichuan Basin, China
Sichuan basin, situated in the west of China, is the fourth biggest basin in China. In order to describe a systematic study of the cry2-type genes resources from Bacillus thuringiensis strains of Sichuan basin, a total of 791 Bacillus thuringiensis strains have been screened from 2650 soil samples in different ecological regions. The method of PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-R...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of indigenous Bacillus thuringiensis strains isolated from Kashmir valley
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) being an eco-friendly bioinsecticide is effectively used in pest management strategies and, therefore, isolation and identification of new strains effective against a broad range of target pests is important. In the present study, new indigenous B. thuringiensis strains were isolated and investigated so that these could be used as an alternative and/or support the cu...
