title: Role of the CryIVD polypeptide in the overall toxicity of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis.
abstract: The gene encoding the CryIVD protein of B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis crystals was disrupted by in vivo recombination. The toxicity of the CryIVD protein-free inclusions was similar to that of the wild-type crystals on Anopheles stephensi larvae but was half the wild-type toxicity on Culex pipiens and Aedes aegypti larvae.
