RESUMO
We designed five degenerate primers for detection of novel cry genes from Bacillus thuringiensis strains. An efficient strategy was developed based on a two-step PCR approach with these primers in five pair combinations. In the first step, only one of the primer pairs is used in the PCR, which allows amplification of DNA fragments encoding protein regions that include consensus domains of representative proteins belonging to different Cry groups. A second PCR is performed by using the first-step amplification products as DNA templates and the set of five primer combinations. Cloning and sequencing of the last-step amplicons allow both the identification of known cry genes encoding Cry proteins covering a wide phylogenetic distance and the detection and characterization of cry-related sequences from novel B. thuringiensis isolates.
