[The role of plasmids in the regulation of delta-endotoxin synthesis in Bacillus thuringiensis H14].
The role of plasmids in regulation of delta-endotoxin synthesis by Bacillus thuringiensis H14 was studied. The derivatives of strain Is-1 H14 containing a 4Md plasmid integrated into the chromosome synthesize small crystals and are not toxic for the gnat larvae. The transceptional transfer into this strain of a plasmid coding for crystal synthesis from the strain 69-6 serotype H5 results in restoration of insecticidal activity to the level of the parental strain Is-1. Transcipients activity is increased 10-15 fold in case of 4Md plasmid excision from the chromosome and autonomous functioning. Evidently, 4Md plasmid from the strain Is-1 as well as a plasmid coding for crystal synthesis from the strain 69-6 contains the regulatory elements participating in the expression of crystalline protein genes localized on other plasmids. The existence of two cellular regulatory groups is supposed to result in the significant increase in crystalline protein synthesis.
