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 ... -
Construction of a Bacillus thuringiensis genetically-engineered strain harbouring the secreted Cry1Ia delta-endotoxin in its crystal
( Springer Netherlands , 2011 , Article)Unlike other Bacillus thuringiensis Cry proteins, Cry1 Ia does not form a crystal since it is a secreted delta-endotoxin. We have engineered a Cry1 Iac chimeric protein by substituting the C-terminal part of Cry1 Ia by the ... -
Correlation between delta-endotoxin and proteolytic activities produced by Bacillus thuringiensis var. kurstaki growing in an economic production medium
