| Title: | New gene from nine Bacillus sphaericus strains encoding highly conserved 35.8-kilodalton mosquitocidal toxins | Authors: | Liu, J.-W. Porter, A.G. Wee, B.Y. Thanabalu, T. |
Issue Date: | 1996 | Citation: | Liu, J.-W.,Porter, A.G.,Wee, B.Y.,Thanabalu, T. (1996). New gene from nine Bacillus sphaericus strains encoding highly conserved 35.8-kilodalton mosquitocidal toxins. Applied and Environmental Microbiology 62 (6) : 2174-2176. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. | Abstract: | A new gene encoding a 35.8-kDa mosquitocidal toxin (Mtx3; 326 amino acids) was isolated from Bacillus sphaericus SSII-1 DNA. Mtx3 is a new type of mosquitocidal toxin with homology to the Mtx2 mosquitocidal toxin of B. sphaericus SSII-1, the ε-toxin of Clostridium perfringens, and the cytotoxin of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The mtx3 gene is highly conserved and widely distributed in both high- and low-toxicity mosquito larvicidal strains of B. sphaericus. | Source Title: | Applied and Environmental Microbiology | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/111986 | ISSN: | 00992240 |
