Characterization of Chimeric Bacillus thuringiensis Vip3 Toxins [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2007 ABSTRACT Bacillus thuringiensis vegetative insecticidal proteins (Vip) are potential alternatives for B. thuringiensis endotoxins that are currently utilized in commercial transgenic insect-resistant crops. Screening a large number of B.

An Insect Toxin from Spores of Bacillus thuringiensis and Bacillus cereus [PDF]
Journal of General Microbiology, 1975 Spores of Bacillus thuringiensis contain a toxin active against lepidopterous larvae. This toxin can be solubilized by extraction with reagents which dissolve the protein crystal of B thuringiensis. It is inactivated by crystal-specific antiserum. Spores of Bacillus cereus contain a similar toxin although the specific activity is much lower than the ...

Understanding the structure and function of Bacillus thuringiensis toxins [PDF]
Toxicon, 2016 As biological control agents take an expanding share of the pesticides market and the production of insect-resistant crops increases, it is essential to understand the structure and function of the active agents, the invertebrate-active toxins that are the fundamental ingredients of these control systems.
