B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis 균주가 생성하는 $\delta$-endotoxin의 alkali 용해에서 생성되는 hemolysin fragment 와 extra-cellular hemolysin 의 상관관계를 조사하기 위한 기초자료로서 extra-cellular hemolysin을 분리 정제하여 그 성질을 조사하였다. 균체 배양액에 유안을 염석 및 투석시킨 후, Sephadex G-200 gel filtration 과 DEAE-cellulose column chromatography를 행하여 균체외 homely-sin을 정제하였다. 정제된 extra-cellular hemolysin 은 SDS-polyacrylamide gel 전기영동에서 47,000 dalton의 분자량을 가진 단일 단백질 band를 얻었다. 또한 정제된 hemolysin은 thiol agents에 의해 그 활성이 증가되었으나, cholesterol 및 protease 처리 또는 금속이온 즉, FeSO$_4$나 CuSO$_4$에 의해 그 활성 이 감소되었다.

The amino acid sequences of 130 kDa and 72 kDa proteins responsible for the larvicidal activity of Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis (Bti) were analyzed by hydrophobic moment plots. A search for highly amphiphilic $\alpha$-helices was made in these proteins using the helical hydrophobic moment as a criterion of amphiphilicity The protein segments of the largest hydrophobic moments were analyzed. In the present communication we report the surface seeking helices in 130 kDa and 72 kDa proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis var israelensis. It is assumed that the surface seeking segments may participate in one of the membrane-related functions of Bacillus thuringiensis.

토양에서 분리한 구형의 내독소단백질을 가지는 18개의 균주 중, 이집트숲모기와 지하집모기에 90%이상의 살충활성을 보이는 Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis CAB199 균주를 선발하였다. 이 균주는 습지에 발생한 이나도미집모기에도 높은 살충효과를 나타내었다. 모기유충의 행동패턴은 주로 호흡을 위해 수면에서 주로 활동하고 있어, Bti 균주를 유효성분으로 하는 제제가 수면 위에 장시간 부유 할 수 있는 제형을 선발하고자 하였다. 수화제와 액상수화제의 두 가지 형태의 제형을 만들어 실내에서의 살충효과 및 습지에서의 방제효과를 확인한 결과, 실내에서의 경우에는 액상수화제 제형이 실험한 3종의 모기유충에 대해 속효적이며 높은 살충율을 보여주었고, 습지에서도 이나도미집모기에 대하여 가장 좋은 활성을 나타내었다.

Wild type Bacilus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis and B. sphaericus toxins have been used separately as active in ingredients for bacterial insecticides to control mosquito larvae due to their comparable toxicity to chemical insecticides. Cry11B, recently cloned from B. thuringiensis subsp. jegathesan, shows higher toxicity against three major species of mosquito larvae than Cry11A, one of the major component of B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis inclusion body. To determine whether the combination of cry11B and B. sphaericus binary toxins is as toxic as B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis parental strain, cry11B and B. sphaericus binary toxins genes were co-expressed as an operon using cytlA promoters/STAB-SD hybrid expression system in B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis acrystalliferous strain 4Q7. However, unexpectedly, B. sphaericus binary toxins were barely produced, whereas relatively large amount of Cry11B was produced. When this strain was grown in four different media, NB+G and Peptonized Milk produced more toxin proteins and spores per unit of media than GYS and G-Tris. Toxicity of this strain against fourth instar Culex quinquefasciatus was ranged from of 8.3 to 45.7 ng/ml, with NB+G culture being the highest, and GYS culture was the lowest.

For more convenient and rapidly isolation of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis(Bti), 1) heat treatment spore forming bacteria, 2) growth in enrichment culture media for Bacillus sp. and 3) selection of bacteria producing a lecithinase for Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis, were performed. Spore forming bacteria were counted 4.8 $\times $ 10$^{8}$cells/g soil on NAPGCY media, 9.2 $\times $ 10$^{7}$cells/g soil on NA media, and 3.6 $\times $ 10$^{8}$cells/g soil on NAAC media, respectively. Bacteria producing only a lecithinase were reached at 25.2% on medium contained egg york, bacteria only producing a delta-endotoxin were reached at 23.2% by phase contrast microscope, and bacteria producing a lecithinase & a delta-endotoxin simultaneously were reached at 13.7%. Bacillus thuringiensis which producing a lecithinase and a delta-endotoxin simultaneously among bacteria producing a lecithinase, were reached at 56.5%; A half of Bacillus thuringiensis was produced a delta-endotoxin, but not produced a lecithinase. Among 8 isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis, two strain of Bti which has a mosquito-cidal toxin, were detected by PCR using a specific primer of $\delta $-endotoxin gene from Bti.

Bti 균주를 배양하여 포자와 $\delta$-endotoxin의 복합물을 직접 field에 적용시키면 미생물 생태계에 변화를 초래할 가능성이 있으며, 배양 후 포자로부터 $\delta$-endotoxin만을 분리할 경우에는 대량생산을 위한 기술적인 어려움이 있다. 또한 $\delta$-endotoxin은 용혈성 단백질을 함유하고 있어 Bti 균주로부터 무포자이며 $\delta$-endotoxin을 생산하는 변이주의 분리와 아울러 $\delta$-endotoxin의 용혈성 인자의 제거 또는 약화를 시도하였다. 그 결과 Bti 균주를 열처리시켜 SPO3 (Spo$^-$ Cry$^+$) 변이주를 분리 선별하고, 그 $\delta$-endotoxin의 모기유충에 대한 LC$_{50}$ 및 응혈성을 조사해 본 결과 LC$_{50}$는 약 20배, 용혈성은 약 25배정도 야생주의 $\delta$-endotoxin에 비해 약화되었다. 이는 변이주의 $\delta$-endotoxin내에 28KDa 단백질의 소실에 기인된 것이라 생각되며, 이는 면역확산반응과 면역전기영동 및 SDS-PAGE에 의해 확인되었다.

Thirteen subspecies of Bacillus thuringiensis including B. t. israelensis, B. t. morrisoni PG-14 and B.t. darmstadoemsos known to be toxic to dipteran insects were treated on the mushroom (Flammulina velutipes) compost to estimate the biological control effect of a sciarid fly, Lycoriella sp. According to the results, it was found that there were no significant effects of the tested strains of B, thuringiensis on the control of Lycoriella sp. For further confirmation, larval gut juice of Lycoriella sp. and trypsin were respectively treated into the parasporal crystal proteins of three subspecies of B. t. israelensis, B. t. morrisoni PG-14, and B. t. darmstadiensis. The proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE. According to the results, the major parasporal crystal proteins were respectively produced by B. t. morrisoni as the amount of 52 kd, B. y. israelensis as 37kd and B. t. darmstadiensis as 39kd, but the activity of these proteins could not be unfortunately confirmed in this study.

Bacillus thuringiensis serovar israelensis 4Q1 contains 8 different covalently closed-circular (CCC) plasmids of molecular weight 204, 267, 109, 103, 16, 7.6, 6.4, and 5.0kb. The three smallest plasmids, designated pBti6, and pBti8 may prove to be useful as cloning vectors because of thier size and ease of isolation. The three plasmids were incubated separately with 9 different restriction enzymes and 7 of the enzymes tested cleaved one or more of the plasmids. Plasmid pBti6 has a single site for Bg1 II, Pst I and Pvu II, two sites for Bc1 I and Eco RI, and five sites for Hind III. Plasmid pBti7 has a single site for Bam HI and Pst I, two sites for Hind III, and three sites for PvuII. Plasmic pBti8 has a single site for Bam HI, BelI and Hind III, two sites for Eco RI, and three sites for Bgl II and Pvu II. Composite restriction enzyme maps for pBti6, pBti7 and pBti8 were constructed. The sites of restriction enzyme cleavage were determined by single, double and partial digests of the plasmid DNA. All the restriction sites were aligned relative to the single Bgl II(pBti6), Pst I(pBti7) or Hind III(pBti8) site, respectively.

Recently, we have developed an easy, simple and convenient circular DNA cloning system named plasmid capture system (PCS). To investigate usefulness of PCS in cloning of plasmids from Bacillus thuringiensis strains, PCS donors, pPCS-S and pPCS-L were applied to clone plasmids of B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis by in vitro transposition using 4{TnsABC^*}$ transposase. In result, 3 small plasmids were cloned, and these were consistent with pTX14-1, pTX14-2 and pTX14-3 reported previously from B. thuringiensis subsp. israelensis. Therefore, the PCS can be successfully applied to clone small plasmids from B. thuringiensis strains.
