Cloning and expression of two crystal protein genes, cry30Ba1 and cry44Aa1, obtained from a highly mosquitocidal strain, Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. entomocidus INA288.


ABSTRACT: Two novel crystal protein genes, cry30Ba and cry44Aa, were cloned from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. entomocidus INA288 and expressed in an acrystalliferous strain. Cry44Aa crystals were highly toxic to second-instar Culex pipiens pallens (50% mortality concentration [LC50] = 6 ng/ml) and Aedes aegypti (LC50 = 12 ng/ml); however, Cry30Ba crystals were not toxic.
