title: A Translation Fusion Product of Two Different Insecticidal Crystal Protein Genes of Bacillus thuringiensis Exhibits an Enlarged Insecticidal Spectrum.
abstract: Two truncated Bacillus thuringiensis crystal protein genes, belonging to the classes cryIA(b) and cryIC and both coding for insecticidal N-terminal fragments of the corresponding crystal proteins, were translationally fused. Expression of the gene fusion in Escherichia coli showed a biologically active protein with a toxicity spectrum that overlapped those of both contributing crystal proteins.
