Development of mutants of the mosquitocidal bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies morrisoni (PG-14) toxic to lepidopterous or dipterous insects.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 Jan 1990

Padua L E, Federici B A

Abstract excerpt

The parasporal body of the mosquitocidal isolate (PG-14) of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. morrisoni (BTM) contains five major proteins with molecular masses of, respectively, 27.3, 65, 128, 135, and 144 kDa. Proteins corresponding in mass to the first four of these also occur in the mosquitocidal strain, B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (BTI), and it is thought therefore that the mosquitocidal activity of both...
