Gene database of Bacillus thuringiensis ATCC 10792

Bacillus thuringiensis is a Gram-positive, soil dwelling
bacterium that can serve as a biopesticide due to the action of endotoxins that
it secretes. Capable of sporulation, spores of B. thuringiensis could
come together with protein crystals of endotoxins to form bipyramidal crystals.
Though the annotated genome sequence of B. thuringiensis is available,
much remains to be known about this bacterium, particularly the pathogenesis
mechanism when it becomes a parasite inside caterpillar, moths, or mosquitoes.
This work reports the gene database of B. thuringiensis ATCC 10792
obtained by parsing the annotated genome sequence obtained from Genbank.
Comprising gene name, gene function and gene sequence of all genes in the
genome of B. thuringiensis, the resource should find use in locating
putative targets for molecular cloning or loss of function analysis in efforts
to identify the molecular effectors that partake in pathogenesis of the
bacterium.
