1. Cloning of the Bacillus thuringiensis serovar sotto chitinase (Schi) gene and characterization of its protein
Chitinase plays a positive role in the pathogenicity of Bacillus thuringiensis to insect pests. We used touchdown PCR to clone the chitinase (Schi) gene from Bacillus thuringiensis serovar sotto (Bt sotto) chromosomal DNA. Our DNA sequencing analysis revealed that the Bt sotto Schi gene consists of an open reading frame (ORF) of 2067 nucleotides with codes f

2. Isolamento, seleção de bactérias e efeito de Bacillus spp. na produção de mudas orgânicas de alface
Isolados bacterianos epifíticos e endofíticos, obtidos de plantas sadias de alface, foram avaliados para promoção de crescimento de mudas e plantas, respectivamente em estufa e campo de cultivo orgânico (Chã Grande-PE). Nos experimentos em estufa, foi utilizada a cultivar Verônica e em campo, as cultivares Verdinha e Verônica. Os isolados foram aplic

3. Cultura da alface : produção de mudas utilizando Bacillus spp., escala diagramática para cercosporiose e levantamento da doença em Pernambuco
Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.) is one of the most consumed vegetables in the world. In spite of the importance of this crop in Pernambuco Brazil, there are no studies on the use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria for production of organic transplants, as well as a diagrammatic scale for evaluating the severity of Cercospora leaf spot (Cercospora longissima

4. Insecticidal toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kenyae: gene cloning and characterization and comparison with B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki CryIA(c) toxins.
Genes encoding insecticidal crystal proteins were cloned from three strains of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kenyae and two strains of B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki. Characterization of the B. thuringiensis subsp. kenyae toxin genes showed that they are most closely related to cryIA(c) from B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki. The cloned genes were introduce

6. Insecticidal properties of a crystal protein gene product isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kenyae.
A protoxin gene, localized to a high-molecular-weight plasmid from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kenyae, was cloned on a 19-kb BamHI DNA fragment into Escherichia coli. Characterization of the gene revealed it to be a member of the CryIE toxin subclass which has been reported to be as toxic as the CryIC subclass to larvae from Spodoptera exigua in assays wit

7. Specificity of Bacillus thuringiensis Delta-Endotoxin
The insecticidal activity of the delta-endotoxins of 14 Bacillus thuringiensis strains belonging to 12 subspecies was determined against Pieris brassicae, Heliothis virescens, and Spodoptera littoralis. Larvae of P. brassicae were highly susceptible to purified crystals of strains of B. thuringiensis subsp. thuringiensis and B. thuringiensis subsp. morrisoni

8. Cloning, Sequencing, and Expression of the Chitinase Gene chiA74 from Bacillus thuringiensis
The endochitinase gene chiA74 from Bacillus thuringiensis serovar kenyae strain LBIT-82 was cloned in Escherichia coli DH5αF′. A sequence of 676 amino acids was deduced when the gene was completely sequenced. A molecular mass of 74 kDa was estimated for the preprotein, which includes a putative 4-kDa signal sequence located at the N terminus. The deduced

9. A novel Bacillus thuringiensis gene encoding a Spodoptera exigua-specific crystal protein.
Only one of the four lepidoptera-specific crystal protein subclasses (CryIC) Bacillus thuringiensis was previously shown to be highly toxic against several Spodoptera species. By using a cryIC-derived nucleotide probe, DNA from 25 different strains of B. thuringiensis was screened for the presence of homologous sequences. A putative crystal protein gene, con

10. Characterization of monoclonal antibodies to a crystal protein of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki.
Ten monoclonal antibodies were produced against a k-1-type crystal protein of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki. Eight of the antibodies belong to the immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) subclass, with pI values ranging from 5.5 to 8.6, one could be assigned to the IgG2b subclass, and one could be assigned to the IgM class. Competitive antibody-binding assays and

11. Population Structure and Evolution of the Bacillus cereus Group†
Representative strains of the Bacillus cereus group of bacteria, including Bacillus anthracis (11 isolates), B. cereus (38 isolates), Bacillus mycoides (1 isolate), Bacillus thuringiensis (53 isolates from 17 serovars), and Bacillus weihenstephanensis (2 isolates) were assigned to 59 sequence types (STs) derived from the nucleotide sequences of seven alleles
