Chemical composition of the cell wall of Bacillus thuringiensis var. thuringiensis.
During an investigation of lytic enzymes associated with sporulation of Bacillus thuringiensis var. thuringiensis (ATCC 10792), it was necessary to determine the chemical structure of the organism's cell wall. The present communication describes this aspect of the investigation. A detailed description of the lytic enzymes will be reported separately. Late-exponential-phase cells grown in a vigo...
متن کاملSpecificities of monoclonal antibodies against the activated delta-endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis var. thuringiensis.
Eight hybrid cell lines secreting monoclonal antibodies directed against the activated delta-endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis var. thuringiensis were grown in BALB/c mice. Ascites fluids were collected, and the antibodies were purified by antigen-affinity chromatography. The specificity of each monoclonal antibody for the toxin and protoxin was established by the indirect enzyme-linked immun...
متن کاملTransport of Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki via fomites.
The intentional and controlled release of an aerosolized bacterium provides an opportunity to investigate the implications of a biological attack. Since 2006, Los Alamos National Laboratory has worked with several urban areas, including Fairfax County, VA, to design experiments to evaluate biodefense concepts of operations using routine spraying of Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki (Btk). Bt...
متن کاملPromise of Bacillus thuringiensis
Bacillus thuringiensis crystal (Cry) proteins are the most widely used biological insecticides in the world. Their value in safely controlling insects that destroy crops and transmit human diseases is well established.Here, we reviewB. thuringiensisCry proteins as novel anthelmintics with a unique mode of action. In laboratory studies, Cry proteins are highly effective against a broad range of ...
متن کاملFlexibility in the protoxin composition of Bacillus thuringiensis.
In at least three Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies, multiple protoxin genes are confined to just a few of the many plasmids with two or more on one of > 100 mDa and a particular gene, cryIA(b), on a 40-50 mDa plasmid. The latter is unstable but can be maintained in the population by cell mating. Cells which had lost this plasmid compensated by increasing transcription of the remaining protoxin...
