Bacillus thuringiensis Bt185 genome sequencing

The Bt185 be considered as a potential soil insect biocontrol agent. It producing about 130-kDa insecticidal crystal protein and forming spherical parasporal inclusion. Two novel cry8-type genes, cry8Ea1 and cry8Fa1, had been cloned from the Bt185 and the Cry8Ea1 be conformed toxic to H. parallela

Bt185可被视为一种潜在的土壤昆虫生防制剂。该菌株可产生约130kDa的杀虫晶体蛋白，并形成球形伴孢包涵体。研究人员从Bt185中克隆得到两个新型cry8型基因，即cry8Ea1和cry8Fa1；经验证，Cry8Ea1对H. parallela具有毒性。
