Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microbial genetic engineering. Specifically, it relates to the isolation and cloning of an insecticidal crystal protein gene from Bacillus thuringiensis, which is related to the genetic engineering of biological pesticides. Background technique
[0002] Bacillus thuringiensis is a rod-shaped, Gram-positive bacteria that can form endogenous spores and widely exists in various ecological environments. In the budding stage, it can form parasporal crystals composed of insecticidal crystal proteins (Insecticidal Crystal Proteins, ICPs) that are specifically toxic to insects. More than 500 kinds of insects in 10 orders of Insecta and some harmful species in protozoa, nematodes and flatworms also have specific biological activities (Schnepf H E, Crickmore N, Rie J V, Lereclus D, Baum J, Feitelson J, Zeigler DR, Dean D H. 1998.
