Localization of a mosquito-larval toxin of Bacillus sphaericus 1593.
Cell-free wall, membrane, and cytoplasmic fractions were prepared from Bacillus sphaericus 1593, which exhibited toxic activity against larvae of the mosquito Culex pipiens var. quinquefasciatus. Breakage of 12- to 14-h cells by sonication or French pressure cell yielded toxic material which could be assayed in a standard mosquito larva bioassay. When sporulating cells of strain 1593 were fract...
متن کاملTransformation of Bacillus polymyxa with plasmid DNA.
A plasmid transformation system was developed for Bacillus polymyxa ATCC 12321 and derivatives of this strain. The method utilizes a penicillin-treated-cell technique to facilitate uptake of the plasmid DNA. Low-frequency transformation (10(-6) per recipient cell) of plasmids pC194, pBD64, and pBC16 was accomplished with this method. Selection for the transformants was accomplished on both hype...
متن کاملA novel transcriptional activator, tubX, is required for the stability of Bacillus sphaericus mosquitocidal plasmid pBsph.
Stable maintenance of the low-copy-number plasmid pBsph in Bacillus sphaericus requires a partitioning (par) system that consists of a filament-forming protein, B. sphaericus TubZ (TubZ-Bs); a centromere-binding protein, TubR-Bs; and a centromere-like DNA site, tubC, composed of three blocks (I, II, and III) of 12-bp degenerate repeats. Previous studies have shown that mini-pBsph replicons enco...
متن کاملTransformation of vegetative cells of Bacillus thuringiensis by plasmid DNA.
Plasmid DNA-mediated transformation of vegetative cells of Bacillus thuringiensis was studied with the following two plasmids: pBC16 coding for tetracycline resistance and pC194 expressing chloramphenicol resistance. A key step was the induction of competence by treatment of the bacteria with 50 mM Tris hydrochloride buffer (pH 8.9) containing 30% sucrose. Transformation frequency was strongly ...
متن کاملTransformation of vegetative cells of Bacillus anthracis with plasmid DNA.
Methods have been developed for chemical transformation and electro-transformation (electroporation) of vegetative cells of Bacillus anthracis with supercoiled plasmid DNA. Chemical transformation was dependent on incubation in Tris/HCl with osmotic support and transformation with plasmid DNA was effected by treatment with polyethylene glycol 3350. Maximum transformation frequencies were 3.8 x ...
