Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and its insecticidal toxins have been used in agronomical pest
control for decades. The mechanism of action of Bt toxins on insect pest involves specific …

purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine to what extent blood–retinal barrier
(BRB) permeability occurred during experimental Bacillus cereus endophthalmitis and …

Bacillus thuringiensis is an insect pathogen that has been used widely as a biopesticide.
Here, we report the genome sequence of strain 407 Cry-, which is used to study the genetic …

Besides sporulation, Bacillus cereus can undergo a differentiation process in which short
swimmer cells become elongated and hyperflagellated swarmer cells that favor migration of …

Using 2‐DE, transcriptional gene fusions and cell cytotoxicity assays, we followed changes
in the Bacillus cereus strain ATCC14579 secretome, gene expression and culture …

We previously reported that Bacillus thuringiensis strain 407 Cry 32− secretes a zinc-
requiring metalloprotease, InhA2, that is essential for virulence in orally infected insects …

A number of genes in Bacillus anthracis encode for proteins homologous to the membrane-
damaging factors known as pathogenic determinants in different bacteria. B. anthracis …

The aim of the experiment was to determine if temporal variations of belowground activity
reflect the influence of the Cry1Ab protein from transgenic maize on soil bacteria and, hence …

We explored quenching of the PlcR–PapR quorum-sensing system in Bacillus cereus. We
generated PapR7-peptidic derivatives that inhibit this system and thus the production of …

The major fungal pathogen of humans, Candida albicans, is exposed to reactive nitrogen
and oxygen species following phagocytosis by host immune cells. In response to these …
