Published data on insecticidal activity of crystal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis are
incorporated into the Bt toxin specificity relational database. To date, 125 of the 174 holotype …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a ubiquitous bacterium in soils, insect cadavers, phylloplane,
water, and stored grain, that produces several proteins, each one toxic to different biological …

The last decade has seen numerous outbreaks of Clostridium difficile-associated disease
(CDAD), which presented significant challenges for healthcare facilities worldwide. We have …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a ubiquitous bacterium that produces several proteins that are
toxic to different invertebrates such as insects, nematodes, mites, and also some protozoans …

Aims: To elaborate an effective electroporation protocol for large plasmids and wild type
strains of Bacillus thuringiensis. Methods and Results: The effect of DNA desalting, wall …

Bacillus species have been involved in metal association as biosorbents, but there is not a
clear understanding of this chelating property. In order to evaluate this metal chelating …

Lysinibacillus sphaericus strains belonging the antigenic group H5a5b produce spores with
larvicidal activity against larvae of Culex mosquitoes. C7, a new isolated strain, which …

Surface layers, referred simply as S-layers, are the two-dimensional crystalline arrays of
protein or glycoprotein subunits on cell surface. They are one of the most common outermost …

Cereulide-producing members of Bacillus cereus sensu lato group III (also known as emetic
B. cereus) possess cereulide synthetase, a plasmid-encoded, nonribosomal peptide …

Abstract Some Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strains produce dipteran-active toxins and can
control larval mosquitoes. We identified a novel mosquitocidal toxin named Xpp81Aa1 with …
