Serological 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...
متن کاملFowler's Bacillus and Its Parasporal Body
Fowler's bacillus is one of several organisms which form a non-viable inclusion or parasporal body during the process of sporulation. This body is globular and may be as large as or larger than the spore. Its position in the cell is not random; the spore is terminal and the body paracentral, lying between the spore and the remaining vegetative cell chromatin bodies. On completion of sporulation...
متن کاملThe Parasporal Body of Bacillus Laterosporus Laubach
On sporulation the slender vegetative rods swell and form larger spindle-shaped cells in which the spores are formed. When the spores mature they lie in a lateral position cradled in canoe-shaped parasporal bodies which are highly basophilic and can be differentiated from the surrounding vegetative cell cytoplasm with dilute basic dyes. On completion of sporulation the vegetative cell protoplas...
متن کاملThe parasporal crystals of Bacillus pumilus strain 15.1: a potential virulence factor?
Bacillus pumilus strain 15.1 was previously found to cause larval mortality in the Med-fly Ceratitis capitata and was shown to produce crystals in association with the spore. As parasporal crystals are well-known as invertebrate-active toxins in entomopathogenic bacteria such as Bacillus thuringiensis (Cry and Cyt toxins) and Lysinibacillus sphaericus (Bin and Cry toxins), the B. pumilus crysta...
متن کاملBacillus sphaericus as a Mosquito Pathogen : Properties of the Organism and Its Toxinst PAUL BAUMANN , ' * MARTA
In the course of sporulation, some strains of Bacillus sphaericus synthesize a parasporal inclusion or "crystal" (Fig. 1), which contains proteins toxic for larvae of a variety of mosquito species (64, 74). Upon completion of sporulation, the crystal remains associated with the endospore, both being enclosed within the exosporium (74). The major components of the crystal are two proteins of 51 ...
