Role of the CryIVD polypeptide in the overall toxicity of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis.
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.
