Purification and characterization of a new Bacillus thuringiensis bacteriocin active against Listeria monocytogenes, Bacillus cereus and Agrobacterium tumefaciens
(
Springer Science
, 2011 , Article)
This study reports on the identification, characterization and purification of a new bacteriocin, named Bacthuricin F103, from a Bacillus thuringiensis strain BUPM103. Bacthuricin F103 production began in the early exponential ...
Correlation between delta-endotoxin and proteolytic activities produced by Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki growing in an economic production medium
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2013 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis is a Gram positive bacterium that produces an insecticidal crystalline protein making it one of the most important biocontrol agents for pest management. Bioinsecticides based on B. thuringiensis ...
Characterisation of novel Bacillus thuringiensis isolates against Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae) and Ceratitis capitata (Diptera:Tephridae)
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2015 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis is successfully used in pest management strategies as an eco-friendly bioinsecticide. Isolation and identification of new strains with a wide variety of target pests is an ever growing field. In this ...
Comparative study of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ia and Cry1Aa delta-endotoxins : activation process and toxicity against Prays oleae
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2010 , Article)
Cry1Ia and Cry1Aa proteins exhibited toxicities against Prays oleae with LC(50) of 189 and 116 ng/cm(2), respectively. The ability to process Cry1Ia11 protoxin by trypsin, chymotrypsin and P. oleae larvae proteases was ...
Amino acids Y229 and F603 are involved in Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ac delta-endotoxin stability and toxicity
(
Blackwell Publishing
, 2012 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Ac toxin shares structurally five conserved blocs with the other δ-endotoxins. To study the role of some amino acids belonging to these regions, two mutations, Y(229) P and F(603) S, were introduced ...
Statistical Analysis of Cultural Parameters Influencing Delta-Endotoxins and Proteases Productions by Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki
(
Springer Verlag
, 2016 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis is a spore-forming bacterium that produces delta-endotoxins, which are toxic to lepidopterans, dipterans and coleopterans. Concomitantly with production of delta-endotoxins, B. thuringiensis produces ...
Improvement of Bacillus thuringiensis bioinsecticide production by sporeless and sporulating strains using response surface methodology
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2011 , Article)
Statistical experimental designs, involving a Plackett-Burman design followed by a rotatable central composite design were used to optimize the culture medium constituents for Bacillus thuringiensis bioinsecticide production. ...
Histopathological effects and determination of the putative receptor of Bacillus thuringiensis Cry1Da toxin in Spodoptera littoralis midgut
(
Elsevier
, 2012 , Article)
Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. aizawai strain HD133, known by its effectiveness against Spodoptera species, produces many insecticidal proteins including Cry1Ab, Cry1Ca and Cry1Da. In the present study, the insecticidal ...
