Chromosomal markerless integration of anthelmintic Cry proteins into the <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> genome

2026-04-24

Abstract excerpt

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a Gram-positive bacterium that during sporulation produces insecticidal Crystal (Cry) proteins, which play a major role in insect control today. Some Bt Cry proteins, e.g., Cry5Ba, target nematodes and, when given orally, can cure animals of gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) parasites. To eliminate concerns about treating humans and animals with spores and live bacteria, we developed a...
