| [a new variety of bacillus thuringinesis very toxic to mosquitoes: b. thuringiensis var. israelensis serotype 14]. | a new strain of b. thuringiensis is described, the flagllar antigen of which is a new one named h14. this strain produces unusual crystals, with all shapes and sizes, and shows a high toxicity for larvae of aedes aegypti. | 1978 | 417869 |
| toxicity of bacillus thuringiensis spores to the tobacco hornworm, manduca sexta. | toxicity of bacillus thuringiensis spores to the tobacco hornworm, manduca sexta, is described. the numbers of larvae killed were in relation to spore dry weight. at a surface application of 6.8 ng/cm2, there was an 85 percent survival, but less than 50 percent survived at 68.2 ng/cm2. striking similarity of spores to parasporal crystals is revealed by slope of mortality curves, inhibition of stadial growth, and 50 percent lethal dose values based on protein content. | 1978 | 623457 |
| [comparative characteristics of spore-forming and asporogenic strains of bacillus thuringiensis]. | comparative characteristics of sporogenous and asporogenous bacillus thuringiensis strains is carried out. asporogenous strains are found to differ from wild type strains in a number of criteria, including colony morphology, character of growth on rich and poor media and uv-sensitivity. sporogenous strains form r colonies, they are more stable and more rare produce variants forming s colonies. s colonies are typical for asporogenous mutants, and under the cultivation in unfavourable conditions ( ... | 1978 | 640382 |
| degradation by eco r1 endonuclease of dna isolated from phages infecting bacillus licheniformis and bacillus thuringiensis. | dna was isolated from lytic phages of two strains, bacillus licheniformis, a producer of bacitracin, and bacillus thuringiensis forming protein paracrystals with pronounced insecticidal effects. its sensitivity to eco r1 restriction endonuclease was determined. it was the aim of the work to find out whether these phages could serve as vectors in the transfer and possible amplification of genes of the two important industrial species of bacilli. approximate values of the molecular weight of dna o ... | 1978 | 648976 |

| [proteolytic enzymes bound to bac. thuringiensis crystals]. | it was demonstrated that crystals of entomopathogenic protein from bac. thuringiensis contain admixture of proteinase either adhered to their surface on inconponated into crystal lattice defects. a proteolytic action, particularly when enhanced by crystal dissolution, causes progressive degradation of crystal proteins with molecular weights of 140 000--129 000 down to the components with smaller molecular weights. this may, at least, partially account for the contradictions in the literature dat ... | 1978 | 656507 |
| bacillus thuringiensis delta-endotoxin: evidence that toxin acts at the surface of susceptible cells. | enzymically activated delta-endotoxin of bacillus thuringiensis covalently bound to sephadex beads, has the same effect on insect cells in tissue culture as free toxin. the effect is prevented by antitoxin antibody and heat denaturation and is not due to a nonspecific protein effect, the beads, or toxin released from the beads. the toxin, therefore, probably acts at the cell surface. | 1978 | 658294 |

| metaphase arrest in the bone marrow cells of rattus norvegicus by the beta-exotoxin of bacillus thuringiensis. | the beta-exotoxin, thuringiensin a, from bacillus thuringiensis var. thuringiensis has been found to be c-mitotic in the bone marrow cells of rattus norvegicus. this exotoxin therefore appears to be a potential tool for metaphase arrest in karyological studies. the delta-endotoxin protein has no similar activity. | 1978 | 754420 |
| [toxicity of bacillus thuringienses var. israelensis for larvae of aedes aegypti and anopheles stephensi]. | the comparative study of the larvicidal action of b. thuringiensis var. israelensis on a. aegypti and a. stephensi shows the greater sensitivity of a. aegypti, with 100% of mortality in 30 to 40 min. at high doses. but, for both species of mosquito, the toxicity of these bacteria is very high, as shown by the mortality regression curves and by the lc50. this toxicity is associated with the crystals and can be extracted from them by dilute alkali solution, like the general case of the other serot ... | 1978 | 96979 |
| [cytological study of the action of bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis on mosquito larvae]. | a comparison is made between the cytopathological effects of b. thuringiensis var. israelensis on aedes aegypti larvae and the cytopathological effects of the other varieties of b. thuringiensis on lepidoptera larvae. the same primary action is observed, with the loss of integrity of the gut epithelium, the cells of which appear swollen, distorted and finally burst. | 1978 | 97020 |
| [study of lysogeny in bacillus thuringiensis and b. cereus]. | forty-eight strains of bacillus thuringiensis and 12 strains of b. cereus were treated with ultraviolet light and mitomycin c. the former agent was the more effective inducer. bacillus thuringiensis produces at least seven different phage particles with long, non-contractile tails. the frequencies of lysogeny and polylysogeny are 83 and 25% respectively. morphologically defective phages occur in 25% of strains, whereas five of them produce low molecular-weight bacteriocins. one strain of b. cere ... | 1978 | 98223 |
| [modes of tetracycline resistance in bacillus thuringiensis]. | the sensitive strain and tetracycline-resistant mutants exhibit two types of growth curves after addition of tetracycline. the level of resistance of these strains is enhanced by a short period of preincubation with a non-inhibitive concentration of tetracycline. | 1978 | 99258 |
| [relative sensitivity of various cell cultures to the thermostable exotoxin of b. thuringiensis]. | the "thermostable" b. thuringiensis exotoxin is active on cell cultures of mammals "in vitro", except on the kb strain from a human tumor. the primary cultures are the most sensitive: first, with monkey kidney cells, the growth is inhibited by 0.1 mg of toxin per ml; next, the young rabbit kidney cells react to 0.25 mg of toxin per ml. the established lines of cells come last: human diploid cells (lyon 4) and heteroploid cells (bhk21c13), with the same active dose of 1 mg of toxin per ml. no pro ... | 1978 | 100834 |

| [toxins and enzymes of several species of bacillus, especially of the b. cereus-thuringiensis group (author's transl)]. | in the examined strains the production of following toxins or enzymes was determined by bioassay or by semiquantitative and routine diagnostical tests: delta-endotoxin, alpha-exotoxin, beta-exotoxin hemolysin, phospholipase c, proteinase. the production of delta-endotoxin (= a parasporal crystal toxic for several insects) is the only character in that b. thuringiensis differs from b. cereus. other biochemical features as production of so-called alpha-exotoxin (= soluble toxic protein), hemolysin ... | 1979 | 112804 |
| virulence factors in bacillus thuringiensis: purification and properties of a protein inhibitor of immunity in insects. | we have previously shown that bacillus thuringiensis subsp. alesti, serotype 3, produces two extracellular inhibitors of the immune system of saturniid pupae (designated inhibitors a and b; edlund et al., 1976). starting from the culture supernatant of a new mutant of b. thuringiensis with a decreased extracellular proteolytic activity, we have now purified immune inhibitor a(ina). the procedure described consists of three steps: ultrafiltration, precipitation with ammonium sulphate and chromato ... | 1979 | 118233 |
| [toxicity of bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis for simulium larvae, vectors of onchocerciasis]. | on field trials in infested streams, the primary powder r 153-78 made of b. thuringiensis var. israelensis with a potency of 3,000 i.t.u. aedes aegypti/milligramme is very toxic for blackfly larvae, especially for simulium damnosum s.l. larvae. the lethal concentration 100, in 24 h. is 0.2 x 10(-6) for a 10 min. treatment. this high toxicity, specific for diptera larvae such as mosquitoes and blackflies, is related to the special characteristic of the bacterial crystal protein which has a clear ... | 1979 | 118818 |
| [determination of the antibacterial activity of various mycotoxins using bacillus thuringiensis (berliner)]. | antibacterial activity of pure preparations of mycotoxins, was studied against strains of bacillus thuringiensis (berliner). most of fungal metabolites used provokes: 1) growth bacterial inhibition similar to lethal effect of antibiotics 2) enlargment of cell volume; this cell abnormality induction resembles those obtained with mitomycin c. the bioassay of fungal toxins with b. thuringiensis can be recommended as a sensitive technique to supplement chemical characterization. by using specific ce ... | 1979 | 36567 |
| mechanism of inhibition of active potassium transport in isolated midgut of manduca sexta by bacillus thuringiensis endotoxin. | after incubation at ph 10 or higher, bacillus thuringiensis spores and endotoxin, at concentrations above 0.1 iu/ml, affected transport parameters in the isolated midgut of manduca sexta larvae. (toxic activity was lost during roughly 1 week at ph 11.) about 60% of the short-circuit current was inhibited, and the remainder was reversibly inhibited by anoxia. electrical resistance was reduced by about 55% and oxygen uptake stimulated by about 30%. influx of potassium from blood-side to lumen-side ... | 1979 | 43881 |
| toxicity of parasporal crystals of bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis to mosquitoes. | toxicity of bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (onr-60a/who 1897) parasporal crystals to three medically important mosquito larvae is described. the numbers of larvae killed are in relation to crystal dry weight. the crystals are lethally toxic to aedes aegypti linnaeus (mean 50% lethal concentration [lc50] = 1.9 x 10(-4) micrograms/ml), culex pipiens var. quinquefasciatus say (lc50 = 3.7 x 10(-4) micrograms/ml), and anopheles albimanus wiedemann (lc50 = 8.0 x 10(-3) micrograms/ml). purfi ... | 1979 | 44177 |
| [effect of ph on the growth of bacillus thuringiensis]. | the effect of ph on the growth phase parameters was studied with bacillus thuringiensis. the experimental data obtained were used to draw the regression equation describing the spore titre as a function of ph. as a result of analysing the equation coefficients and the effect of ph on the growth phase parameters, a ph profile has been proposed which favours an increase in the titre of spores. the profile decreases the rate of oxygen uptake at the exponential growth phase and increases the rate of ... | 1979 | 34081 |

| on the formation of crystal proteins during sporulation in bacillus thuringiensis var. thuringiensis. | the processes of sporulation and crystal formation in bacillus thuringiensis could be desynchronized, using short term temperature shift-up conditions or addition of chloramphenicol at the beginning of sporulation. isolation of a sp-, cr+ mutant, blocked at early stage of sporulation further confirmed that crystal formation can occur in the absence of sporulation. the presence of one of the two antigenic subunits of the crystal protein in chloramphenicol treated cultures and both of them in cult ... | 1979 | 426602 |
| [protein composition of crystals (delta-endotoxin) of different serotypes of bac. thuringiensis]. | the crystals of entomopathogenic protein from bac. thuringiensis contain admixtures of proteinases adhering to their surfaces. a newly developed technique of protease inactivation allowed to estimate the true protein composition of the crystals of various strains of bac. thuringiensis. it was shown that the crystals of all strains (with the exception of v and viii) are composed of only one protein with molecular weights of 145,000, 135,000 and 130,000, depending on the strain. the crystals of se ... | 1979 | 435578 |
| [bacillus thuringiensis plasmid dna]. | plasmid dnas were isolated from bacillus thuringiensis and their physico-chemical properties were studied. the dnas were purified using ultracentrifugation in a cscl2 density gradient. the molecular weight of these extrachromosomal dnas determined by electrophoresis in 0.6% agarose gel and by electron microscopy was 6 . 10(6)--10 . 10(6) daltons; a dna with a molecular weight of 90 . 10(6) daltons was also found. digestion with restriction endonuclease ecori yielded fragments of the plasmid dnas ... | 1979 | 440159 |
| [proteinases in growth and spore formation of bacillus thuringiensis]. | some serine proteases and leucine aminopeptidases were detected inside and outside the cells during the analysis of three crystalline and two acrystalline strains of bac. thuringiensis var. galleriae. the data obtained on the protease formation during growth and sporulation and the level of their activity are indicative of intracellular proteases involvement in spore- and crystal formation. the enzymes isolated from the culture medium do not probably take part in these processes. the intracellul ... | 1979 | 454710 |
| [antibacterial activity of zearalenone]. | zearalenone, a mycotoxin secreted by fusarium sp. and gibberella zeae, shows a narrow range of antibacterial activity limited to some gram-positive aerobic spore-forming bacteria. in bacillus thuringiensis (berliner), a highly sensitive species, this activity is characterized by a decrease of cellular division and induction of atypical cells. these effects resemble those obtained with two other mycotoxins which possess a lactone structure: aflatoxin b1 and patulin. | 1979 | 455155 |

| [effect of high doses of the toxins from bacillus thuringiensis strains on mice and sheep]. | the investigation on bac. thuringiensis toxines applied orally and subcutaneously on experimental white mice and on sheep proved that high doses of the dipel endotoxin are most toxic for mice of all strains (no. 862, 2e, 171) and spores and crystals of strain nd-1 used in dipel injection. the endotoxin of strain 862 applied orally to sheep at a dose of 10 cm3/kg body weight caused slight changes only to some paraclinical indices, namely: total protein, carotene, etc. exotoxin had none or only sl ... | 1979 | 545851 |
| [using a combined transcription-translation system for determining the role of cryptic plasmids of bacillus thuringiensis]. | the possibility of entomocyde crystal protein synthesis was studied using a heterological cell-free system with bacillus thuringiensis plasmid dna as template. the high level of template activity is usual for bac. thuringiensis plasmid dna. immunochemical studies of the in vitro synthesized polypeptides showed that bac. thuringiensis plasmid dna does not direct crystal protein synthesis. | 1979 | 547175 |

| deposit assessment of bacillus thuringiensis formulations applied from an aircraft. | deposit assessment after aerial spraying with bacillus thuringiensis (b.t.) formulations consists of the analysis of the splash of droplets on kromekote papers and determining the number of bacterial colonies growing on nutrient agar medium petri dishes. however, neither of these two methods provides a number of spores deposited although this figure is essential to determine treatment efficiency. both methods are evaluated with regard to this need and a new approach is suggested. | 1980 | 7011511 |
| the crystalline layers in spores of bacillus cereus and bacillus thuringiensis studied by freeze-etching and high resolution electron microscopy. | the comparative morphology of spores from bacillus cereus, b. thuringiensis s-9 (wildtype), b. thuringiensis hb 9-1 (acrystaliferous mutant) and b. finitimus, was studied by the freeze-etching technique. particular attention was given to the three crystalline layers found in these spores, the pitted layer, the parasporal layer, and the basal layer of the exosporium with lattice constants of 9.2 nm, 5.8 nm and 8.0 nm respectively. the parasporal layers, corresponding to the fraction of fl of sche ... | 1980 | 6766865 |
| [relationship between spore formation and exoproteinase synthesis in bacillus thuringiensis]. | the localization of exoproteinase in the conventionally "periplasmic" space of bacillus thuringiensis was established. the enzyme located at the outer surface of the membrane was found, in the course of sporogenesis, within the spore where it could fulfill various functions. the role of glutamine synthetase was determined in the regulation of exoproteinase synthesis and sporogenesis. the both processes were inhibited in the conditions suppressing the activity of glutamine synthetase. | 1980 | 6106151 |
