Cloning of chitinase gene from Bacillus thuringiensis
In the present investigation, 34 Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) isolates of different agroclimatic condition were studied for fungitoxic characters and the principle involved for fungitoxicity was identified in most of the cases as exochitinases. The different Bt strains were screened for fungitoxicity and chitin degrading activity employing 4 fungal pathogens. Biochemical assay of the chitinase u...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of cryIIIA gene expression in Bacillus thuringiensis.
The Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) cryIIIA gene is regulated by a different mechanism from that of most of the other cry genes. Its expression begins during late-exponential growth and not during sporulation as for the other classes of cry genes. Moreover, in Bacillus subtilis, cryIIIA expression is independent of the major sporulation-specific sigma factors and is increased in a spoOA genetic bac...
متن کاملRegulation of cry Gene Expression in Bacillus thuringiensis
Bacillus thuringiensis differs from the closely related Bacillus cereus group species by its ability to produce crystalline inclusions. The production of these crystals mainly results from the expression of the cry genes, from the stability of their transcripts and from the synthesis, accumulation and crystallization of large amounts of insecticidal Cry proteins. This process normally coincides...
متن کاملCloning of the Bacillus thuringiensis serovar sotto chitinase (Schi) gene and characterization of its protein
Chitinase plays a positive role in the pathogenicity of Bacillus thuringiensis to insect pests. We used touchdown PCR to clone the chitinase (Schi) gene from Bacillus thuringiensis serovar sotto (Bt sotto) chromosomal DNA. Our DNA sequencing analysis revealed that the Bt sotto Schi gene consists of an open reading frame (ORF) of 2067 nucleotides with codes for the chitinase precursor. We also f...
متن کاملExpression of a cloned Bacillus thuringiensis delta-endotoxin gene in Bacillus subtilis.
The entire coding region of the Bacillus thurigiensis HD73 crystal protein gene was subcloned from plasmid pJWK20 into the integration vector pUG2-15. This plasmid expresses chloramphenicol resistance when integrated into the Bacillus subtilis chromosome in the outH locus near the recE region. The correct molecular organization of the integrated plasmid was verified by hybridization to Southern...
