Abstract excerpt
After site-directed mutagenesis, the genes coding for the 42- and 51-kilodalton (kDa) mosquitocidal proteins of Bacillus sphaericus 2362 were placed under the regulation of the aprE (subtilisin) promoter of the Bacillus subtilis vector pUE (a derivative of pUB18). The levels of expression of the gene products in B. subtilis DB104 and B. sphaericus 718 were assessed by bioassays with larvae of Culex pipiens and by...
