Bacillus sphaericus 1593 is a larvicidal toxin-producing mosquitocidal bacterium. The toxin contains a parasporal crystalline inclusion which is composed of a protein that is activated under alkaline condition. To enhance alkaline environment around toxin protein, cryptic plasmid cured, B. sphaericus 1593 was transformed by the Bacillus pasteurii urease gene which generate ammonia from urea. Transformant produced urease at about 80% more than wild type strain. B. sphaericus 1593, and the urease gene was stably maintained. It also produced crystalline toxin protein at the same level as the wild type strain B. sphaericus 1593.

Bacillus sphaericus 1593 is pathogenic to the larvae of a number of mosquito species that are known as important vectors for the transmission of certain human and animal diseases. As a preliminary experiment for developing a multfunctional B. sphaericus 1593 as a potent antagonist, we investigated the conditions for the protoplast transformation system of B. sphaericus 1593 using the plasmid pGB215-110$\Delta$B. The protoplast of B. sphaericus 1593 were obtained most efficiency by treating the cells with 500 $\mu$g/ml of lysozyme in the SMM buffer containing 0.5 M sucrose at pH 8.0 and 40$\circ$C for 60 minutes. The cell wall was regenerated on the plate containing 1.2% agar and 0.8 M mannitol. Under the best condition for protoplast formation and regeneration established in the work the highest frequency of transformation was achieved with the 40% PEG (M.W 4,000) treatment for 15 minutes of incubation at 4$\circ$C, and subsequently for 120 minutes incubation at 30$\circ$C for phenotypic expression. The highest transformation efficiency were observed at 1.0 $\mu$g/ml of the final concentration of the plasmid DNA and the plasmids were found to be fairly stable since about 70% of the plasmids were maintained after 8 successive daily transfers onto the fresh medium.

Escheriachia coli pSL 2-1 clone은 Bacillus sphaericus 1593의 모기살충 유전자를 클로닝한 재조합 DNA이다. 이 클론이 생산하는 살충독소 단백질의 분자량을 SDS-polyacrylamide gel을 이용하여 측정했다. B. sphaericus 1593균이 생산하는 독소결정체를 분리하여 전기영동을 한 결과는 6개의 단백질밴드(43, 58, 64, 100, 113, 130Kd)가 형성되었으나, 독소결정체를 알칼리 pH로 용해하여 전기영동을 하면 2개의 단백질 밴드(43과 64Kd)만이 나타났다. 그러나 대장균 pSL2-1균이 생산하는 독소단백질을 Sephadex G-200으로 정제하여 모기유충에 살충력이 있는 단백질을 전기영동한 결과는 42Kd만이 나타났다. LC50은 2 $\mu\textrm{g}$/$m\ell$이었다. B. sphaericus와 pSL2-1 clone 생산하는 살충단백질은 42Kd 단백질인 것으로 생각된다.

The parasporal biogenesis of crystal inclusion during the sporulation of Bacillus sphaericus strain 1593 was observed using transmission electron microscopy. The crystal biogenesis and sporulation process involved a sequence of events talking about 10 h. The sporulation Precesses were found to be similar to previous findings. The crystal biogenesis of B. sphaericus was initiated at the start of engulfment and nearly completed by the time of exosporium formation. The crystal formation was clearly associated with the outer forespore membrane from stages III through VI, and the crystals grew from polypeptide-like chains originated from the outer forespore membrane. These observations are different from previous findings, which report no association with the forespore membrane. The crystals were located adjacent to the outer membrane of the spore until the release stage. The axes size of the bipyramidal crystal was approximately $0.25{\mu}m{\times}42{\mu}m$. During crystal biogenesis, the crystal development could be classified into four stages; initiation stage Cl (sporulation stage . III), growth stage C2 (sporulation III to V), envelopment and maturation C3 (sporulation V to V), and finally release stage C4 (sporulation Vll).

Microbial insecticide formulations were prepared by liquid and semi-solid fermentations using Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki, HL-106 (BTK-HL106), B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis HL-63 (BTI-HL63) and B. sphaericus 1593 (BS-1593) strains. The liquid fermentation medium contained molasses 2%, dextrose 1.5%, peptone 2%, D-xylose 0.025%, CaCl$_2$ 0.1%, K$_2$HPO$_4$ 0.1%, KH$_2$PO$_4$ 0.1%, MgSO$_4$$.$7H$_2$O 0.03%, FeSO$_4$$.$7H$_2$O 0.002%, ZnSO$_4$$.$7H$_2$O 0.02%. The composition of the semi-solid fermentation medium was rice bran 45.2%, zeolite 31%, yeast powder 0.02%, corn powder 5%, dextrose 3%, lime 0.3%, NaCl 0.06%, CaCl$_2$ 0.02%, and H$_2$O 15.42%. Insecticide formulations produced in the liquid fermentation named BTK-HL106, BTI-HL63 and BS-1593 pesticides and those in the semi-solid fermentation were designated as BTK-HL106-1, BTI-HL63-1 and BS-1593-1 pesticides, respectively. The number of spore (endotoxin crystals) was 2.65${\times}$10$\^$9/ spores per $m\ell$ in the BTK-HL106 and 3.5${\times}$10$\^$10/ in the BTK-HL106-1 3.8${\times}$10$\^$9/ spores in the BTI-HL63 and 7.0${\times}$10$\^$10/ in the BTI-HL63-1, and 7.5${\times}$10$\^$9/ in the BS-1593 and 1.4${\times}$10$\^$10/ in the BS-1593-1. The spores in the BS-1593 formulation was produced two times more than the other formulations. The spores in the BTI-HL63-1 were contained twice than those in the BTK-HL106-1, and five times than those in the BS-1593-1. The results indicated that spore (endotoxin crystals) productions in the semi-solid fermentation increased about ten times than those in the liquid fermentations. $LC_{50}$s of the BTI-HL63 and BS-1593 were 4.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$, and those of the BTI-HL63-1 and BS-1593-1 were 1.5 $\mu\textrm{g}$. $LC_{50}$ of the BTK-HL106 was 1.5 mg and that of the BTK-HL106-1 was 0.9 mg. The $LC_{50}$s of the formulations in the semi-solid fermentations showed about two to three times higher than those in the liquid fermentations.

B.sphaericus ts-D1290의 특성을 정상균주 (B.sphaericus 1593)와 비교하기 위하여 방사성 동위원소를 이용하여 DNA, RNA 그리고 단백질 생합성량을 허용온도와 비허용온도에서 측정하고, 온도의 영향을 조사하였다. 1. ts-D1290 돌연변이주를 $30^{\circ}C$에서 배양하였을 때는 정상균주와 유사한 증식을 보였으나, 제한 온도인 $42^{\circ}C$에서는 거의 증식을 하지 않았다. 2. 온도를 $30^{\circ}C$에서 $42^{\circ}C$로 상승하여 배양하였을 때는 두 균주 모두 정상적인 높은 증식률을 보였으며, 온도를 $42^{\circ}C$에서 4시간 배양 후 $30^{\circ}C$ 하강하여 배양하였을 때는 정상균주는 정상적인 증식을 하였으나, ts-D1290 돌연변이주는 거의 증식을 하지 않았다.

Bacillus sphaericss 1593균주를 ultra violet light (366nm, 253.7nm)와 dimethyl sulfate으로 처리하여 다수의 감온성 돌연변이체를 분리하여 이중 25균주를 선택하였고 24개의 감온성 돌연변이체는 $42^{\circ}C$의 제한온도에서 전혀 성장을 하지 않았으며, 9개의 감온성 돌연변이체는 제한온도 $42^{\circ}C$에서 허용온도의 성장과 비교하여 1/2정도의 감소를 보였다. 기타 2개의 감온성 돌연변이체는 저온 민감성인 감온성 돌연변이체로서 허용온도($30^{\circ}C$)에서의 성장이 제한온도($42^{\circ}C$) 성장보다 감소를 보였다. 이러한 결과에 따라서 감온성 돌연변이체를 치사군과 비치사군 및 저온민감성 감온성 돌연변이체로 분리할 수 있었다. 또한 치사군의 제한온도에서의 발육은 고체배지 및 액체배지 양쪽에서 성장을 하지 않는 반면 비치사군들의 돌연변이체들은 제한온도 $42^{\circ}C$에서 고체배지 및 액체배지의 성장은 허용온도에서 배양한 결과보다 저조한 성장을 나타내었다. 감온성 돌연변이체들은 $42^{\circ}C$에서 12시간 배양한 후 허용온도인 $30^{\circ}C$ 액체배지로 이식하여 배양한 결과 치사군중 ts-U1112, ts-D1290, ts-D1342, ts-D1504 돌연변이체들은 성장을 계속하지 않았으며, ts-U351, ts-U828, ts-U892, ts-D1350, ts-D1479, ts-D2601과 ts-D2801 돌연변이체들은 성장이 계속됨을 관찰할 수 있었다.
