Parasporal Crystals

Six oligosporogenic (Spo−) mutant strains of Bacillus thuringiensis were selected from survivors of treatment with N-methyl-N′-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine. Each strain was blocked at or before stage II of spore development, but all produced typical bipyramidal-shaped crystalline inclusion bodies. Toxicity of the parasporal endotoxin isolated from the mutant strains was assayed by an in vitro technique using cultured insect cells, and was comparable with that of normal wild-type parasporal protein. Multiple parasporal inclusion bodies per cell were often produced, and smaller embedded particles were numerous and distinct.

ABSTRACT By a combination of PCR and mass spectrometry, a total of five cry genes (cry1Aa, cry1Ac, cry2Aa, cry2Ab, and cry1Ia) were detected in genomic DNA from the wild-type Bacillus thuringiensis strain 4.0718, and three protoxins (Cry1Aa, Cry1Ac, and Cry2Aa) were identified in the strain's parasporal crystals. These results indicated that this complementary method may be useful in evaluating B. thuringiensis strains at both the gene and protein levels.
