Integration of a Recombinant Chitinase into Bacillus thuringiensis Parasporal Insecticidal Crystal
(
Springer-Verlag
, 2011 , Article)
Chitinases have been successfully used in combination with Bacillus thuringiensis delta-endotoxins forming crystals in order to enhance their insecticidal activities. In this context, we opted for promoting the chitinase ...

Initially identified by their ability to modulate the functional activity of BCL10, the three CARMA proteins, CARMA1, -2, and -3, have recently themselves taken a leading role on the stage of molecular medicine. Although ...
Cry4Ba and Cyt1Aa proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis: Interactions and Toxicity mechanism against Aedes aegypti
(
Elsevier Ltd.
, 2015 , Article)
Individual crystal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis exhibit variable levels of insecticidal activities against mosquito larvae. In all cases, they are much less active compared to the whole crystal proteins ...
Differential oxidative stress responses to methanol in intraperitoneally exposed rats: Ameliorative effects of Opuntia vulgaris fruit extract
(
SAGE Publications
, 2012 , Article)
Methanol is primarily metabolized by oxidation to formaldehyde and then to formate. These processes are accompanied by formation of superoxide anion and hydrogen peroxide. This article reports data on the effect of ...
