متن کاملEvaluation of ppk-specified polyphosphate as a mercury remedial tool.
To evaluate the utility of polyphosphate kinase gene (ppk)-specified polyphosphate in mercury remediation, a fusion plasmid, pMK27, with ppk from Klebsiella aerogenes and mercury transport genes, merT and merP, from Pseudomonas K-62, was constructed. The transcription and translation of ppk, merT and merP were found to be mercury-inducible. The ppk-specified polyphosphate was identified in cell...
متن کاملCloning 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 کاملProduction of Protocatechuic Acid in Bacillus Thuringiensis ATCC33679
Protocatechuic acid, or 3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, is produced by both soil and marine bacteria in the free form and as the iron binding component of the siderophore petrobactin. The soil bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki ATCC 33679, contains the asb operon, but does not produce petrobactin. Iron restriction resulted in diminished B. thuringiensis kurstaki ATCC 33679 growth and the pro...
متن کاملPromise of Bacillus thuringiensis
Bacillus thuringiensis crystal (Cry) proteins are the most widely used biological insecticides in the world. Their value in safely controlling insects that destroy crops and transmit human diseases is well established.Here, we reviewB. thuringiensisCry proteins as novel anthelmintics with a unique mode of action. In laboratory studies, Cry proteins are highly effective against a broad range of ...
