Separation of the cytolytic and mosquitocidal proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis.
The cytolytic and mosquitocidal proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis were isolated from parasporal crystals and subsequently separated from each other. The proteins were separated by gel filtration chromatography and their molecular weights were estimated by both gel filtration chromatography and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The apparent molecular weights of the mosquitocidal protein and the cytolytic protein were estimated to be 65,000 daltons and 28,000 daltons, respectively.
