  • To find new crystal protein genes, we screened 42 Bacillus thuringiensis strains of serovar standards by Southern hybridization with a cryI-specific probe which was amplified from B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki HDl by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Two strains, B. thuringiensis subsp. entomocidus HD9 and subsp. subtoxicus HD109, generated weak signals under the low-stringency hybridization conditions. Further analysis with Southern hybridization revealed that the two strains contained cryIB genes which are slightly different from those of B. thuringiensis subsp. thuringiensis HD2. These results were confirmed by PCR with cryIB-specific primers followed by the restriction analysis of PCR products.

  • Bacillus thuringiensis produces insecticidal parasporal inclusions (crystal protein) used as a major ingredient of most microbial insecticides. Although many B. thuringiensis strains and their crystal proteins have been isolated and characterized, such findings have limitation of usefulness. For enhanced toxicity, fast effects, and the delay of resistance development, research on genetic manipulation of crystal genes and proteins by genetic engineering should be continued. (omitted)

  • Twenty-three Bacillus thuringiensis strains isolated from Korea were screened to detect the cry-type genes using PCR with 21 specific oligonucleotide primers. Eight strains contained distinct multiple crystal genes; cry1Aa2, cry1Ab1, cry1Ac1 and cry2Aa1. These results indicate that the strains coincided with the B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki strain. The other 15 strains were not recognised to the 21 specific primers.

  • 국내 토양으로부터 파밤나방에 활성있는 Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki KB100균주를 분리 동정하였다. 난방제 해충인 파밤나방에 대한 B. thuringiensis의 살충력을 강화시키기 위해 몇 개의 protease inhibitor를 조사하였으며, 이 중 단백질 분해 억제 능력이 가장 좋은 tannic acid을 선발하였다. B. thuringiensis의 배양액에 tannic acid을 혼합 처리하여 파밤나방 2령 유충을 대상으로 생물활성을 조사한 결과, B. thuringiensis 단독처리는 54.4%의 사충율을 보인 반면 B. thuringiensis와 4 mM tannic acid을 혼합하여 처리하면 64.0% 그리고 B. thuringiensis+40 mM tannic acid는 95.5%의 높은 상승효과를 각각 나타냈다. 그러나 B. thuringiensis+80 mM tannic acid 에서는 53.3%로 단독처리의 경우 보다 사충율이 낮게 나타났다. 3령 유충에서도 B. thuringiensis 단독처리는 60.0%였으며 B. thuringiensis+40 mM tannic acid는 93.3%로 사충율이 증가하는 상승효과를 보였다. 야외포장 실험에서 B. thuringiensis 단독처리는 1회, 2회, 3회 누적 처리에서 각각 61.8%, 80.4% 그리고 47.3%의 사충율을 나타낸 것에 비해 B. thuringiensis와 40 mM tannic acid의 혼합 처리구에서는 83.9%, 89.4%와 66.8%로 사충율이 증가되었다.

  • Expression of the crylAcl gene of an acrystalliferous Bacillus thuringiensis strain under the control of the native or $\alpha$-amylase gene promoter was investigated. The crylAcl gene was cloned in a B. thuringiensis - E. coli shutle vector, pHT3101, undder the control of either the native promoter (pProAc) or the $\alpha$-amylase promoter from Bacillus subtilis (pAmyAc). These two recombinant plasmids were successfully expressed in B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki Cry B. The first transformant (ProAc/CB), harboring pProAc, expressed an about 130 kDa protein begining 24 hr after inoculations just as in the case of the wild type of B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki HD-73. The second pAmyAc-transformant (AmyAc/CB) began to express the gene just 6 hr after inoculation, but Western analysis showed that the activity of the $\alpha$-amylase promoter was relatively weaker than that of the native promoter. As expected, their toxicity against Plutella xylostella larvae was dependent on the amount of Cry1Acl protein expressed.

  • 국내에서 시판되고 있는 5개의 미생물농약(A제품 : Bacillus thuringiensis subsp aizawai, B제품 : B. thuringiensis, C제품 : B. thuringiensis Berline Variety kurstaki, D제품 : B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki, E제품 : B. thuringiensis subsp aizawai)에 대한 특성을 조사하였다. 제품의 생물활성에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 활성포자수의 조사 결과, 각 각 제품에 표시되어 있는 숫자 보다 A B제품은 약 100배, D E제품은 약 10배로 감소되어 나타났고, C제품은 유사하게 나타나는 경향을 보였다. 5개 제품의 pH를 측정한 결과 A, B제품은 각각 pH 3.67, pH 3.73으로 나타났고, 나머지 3개 제품은 약 pH 5로 나타났다. 위상차현미경으로 관찰된 독소단백질의 형태에서는 C제품이 B. thuringiensis 고유의 뚜렷한 이중피라미드모양의 독소단백질 모습을 갖고 있었다. 또한 전자현미경으로 관찰된 A제품에서는 이중피라미드모양이 심하게 마모되어있는 것을 확인하였다. 한편, B. thuringiensis 제품을 작물에 사용하였을 때 균일하게 도포되는지 여부를 확인하기 위하여 제형의 균일도를 조사하였다. 그 결과 C D E 제품은 NA배지에 균일하게 균이 배양되었고, A B 제품은 NA배지 상에 균일성을 보이지 않았다. 제품상의 특성에서 가장 큰 차이를 보인 'A'와 'C'제품으로 배추좀나방 유충을 이용하여 생물검정을 한 결과, 두 제품 모두 추천 농도에서 48시간 이후 100% 사충율을 보였으나 'A'제품의 경우에는 희석 배수에 따라 사망률이 일정하지 않게 나타났다.

  • A shuttle promoter-probe vector, pEB203, was derived from pBR322, pPL703 and pUB110. Using the vector, a useful DNA fragment, 319 bp EcoRI fragment, having strong promoter activity has been cloned from Bacillus subtills chromosomal DNA. Selection was based on chloramphenicol resistance which is dependent upon the introduction of DNA fragments allowing expression of a chloramphenicol acetyl transferase gene. The nucleotide sequence of the 319 bp fragment has been determined and the putative -35 and -10 region, ribosome binding site, and ATG initiation codon were observed. This promoter was named EB promoter and the resultant plasmid which can be used as an expression vector was named pEBP313. The crystal protein gene from B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki HD-73 was cloned downstream from the EB promoter without its own promoter. When the resultant plasmid, pBT313, was introduced into Escherichia coli and B. subtilis, efficient synthesis of crystal protein was observed in both cells, and the cp gene expression in B. subtilis begins early in the vegetative phase. The cell extracts from both clones were toxic to Hyphantria cunea larvae.

  • Two B. thuringiensis strains, which possess mosquitocidal activities, were isolated from Korean soil samples and named K-1205-1 and K-1381-1. Serological studies indicated that K-1205-1 and K-1381-1 belonged to B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki (H3a3b3c) and subsp. aizawai (H7), respectively. K-1205-1 produced typical bipyramidal parasporal inclusions, but K-1381-1 produced irregular bipyramidal shape. Total plasmid DNA patterns analysis shewed that K-1205-1 and K- 1381-1 were different from their reference strains, subsp. kurstaki and subsp. aizawai, respectively, in high molecules, whereas their crystal protein patterns showed no difference. The cry gene contents of K-1205-1 and K-1381-1 were identical with those of the reference strains. Mosquitocidal activities of crystal proteins produced by K-1205-1 and K-1381-1 were significantly high by about 40-50 folds at $LC_50$ when compared to those of subsp. kurstaki and subsp. aizawai. Finally, in southern blot analysis using cry1A-type specific probe, K-1205-1 and K-1381-1 had different bands from subsp. kurstaki and subsp. aizawai, respectively. In conclusion, our results suggest that K-1205-1 and K-1381-1 appear to be new moquitocidal B. thuringiensis strains isolated from Korean soil.

  • 액체배양 실험으로 14가지 탄수화물을 사용하여 B. thuringiensis의 생장, 포자형성 및 살충성 결정단백질 생성에 대한 탄소원의 영향을 조사하였다. 최대 세포밀도는 B. thuringiensis 균주에 따라 접종 $16.7{\sim}22$시간 후에 모든 탄소원배지에서 $10^7{\sim}10^8\;cells/ml$ 수준으로 나타났고, 접종 $16.7{\sim}24.7$시간 후에 포자가 나타나기 시작하여 포자형성율이 80%에 이르는 시간은 균주에 따라 $28{\sim}51.3$ 시간이 소요되었다. 배양에 따른 배지의 pH변화는 없었고, 단백질 총량은 sucrose를 사용한 배지에서 가장 높았고, 전분을 첨가했을때 가장 낮았다. Glucose, lactose, maltose 또는 sucorse를 탄소원으로 사용한 배지에서 살충성 결정단백질 생성량이 많았고, 단백질 총량과 살충성 결정단백질량은 비례관계에 있었다. B.t. kurstaki와 B.t. israelensis에서 생성되는 서로 다른 종류의 살충성 결정 단백질의 양은 사용한 모든 탄소원의 경우 그 개별적 증감의 경향이 같았다.
