Cloning of chitinase gene from Bacillus thuringiensis
In the present investigation, 34 Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) isolates of different agroclimatic condition were studied for fungitoxic characters and the principle involved for fungitoxicity was identified in most of the cases as exochitinases. The different Bt strains were screened for fungitoxicity and chitin degrading activity employing 4 fungal pathogens. Biochemical assay of the chitinase u...
متن کاملCloning of a Serratia marcescens Gene Encoding Chitinase.
Serratia marcescens, a chitinase-producing microorganism, was shown to produce five unique chitinolytic proteins with subunit molecular masses of 21, 36, 48, 52, and 57 kilodaltons. A cosmid library of S. marcescens DNA was constructed in the broad-host-range cosmid pLAFR1 and screened in Escherichia coli for clones capable of degrading chitin. A total of four independent clones (22- to 27-kilo...
متن کاملMolecular cloning of chitinase 33 (chit33) gene from Trichoderma atroviride
In this study Trichoderma atroviride was selected as over producer of chitinase enzyme among 30 different isolates of Trichoderma sp. on the basis of chitinase specific activity. From this isolate the genomic and cDNA clones encoding chit33 have been isolated and sequenced. Comparison of genomic and cDNA sequences for defining gene structure indicates that this gene contains three short introns...
متن کاملCloning of the cytotoxin-hemolysin gene of Vibrio vulnificus.
Genes encoding the cytotoxin-hemolysin of Vibrio vulnificus were cloned in Escherichia coli by using the lytic cloning vector, lambda 1059. Subcloning in plasmid pBR325 resulted in the isolation of a 3.2-kilobase DNA fragment containing the cytotoxin gene. By using this fragment as a DNA probe, homologous gene sequences were detected in all 54 V. vulnificus strains studied; homologous sequences...
متن کاملCloning of a class III acidic chitinase from chickpea.
From chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), one ,f3-1,3-glucanase and two chitinases were purified and characterized (Vogelsang and Barz, 1993). The P-l,S-glucanase and one chitinase each with a basic isoelectric point (class I) were shown to be localized in vacuoles, whereas the second class 111 acidic chitinase revealed an extracellular localization (Mackenbrock et al., 1992). Here we report on the c...
