Abstract excerpt
Bt strains were isolated from soils of Andaman and Nicobar Islands and characterized by microscopic and molecular methods. Diversity was observed both in protein and cry gene profiles, where majority of the isolates showed presence of 65 kDa protein band on SDS-PAGE while rest of them showed 130, 72, 44, and 29 kDa bands. PCR analysis revealed predominance of cry1I and cry7, 8 genes in these isolates. The PCR...
