Molecular detection of nematicidal crystalliferous Bacillus thuringiensis strains of Iran and evaluation of their toxicity on free-living and plant-parasitic nematodes

The characterization of nematode-effective strains and cry genes in the Iranian Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) collection (70 isolates) is presented. Characterization was based on PCR analysis using 12 specific primers for cry5, cry6, cry12, cry13, cry14, and cry21 genes encoding proteins active against nematodes, crystal morphology, and protein band patterns as well as their nematicidal activity on root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) and two free-living nematodes (Chiloplacus tenuis and Acrobeloides enoplus). PCR results with primers for these genes showed that 22 isolates (31.5%) contain a minimum of one nematode-active cry gene. Strains containing the cry6 gene were the most abundant and represent 22.8% of the isolates. Bt strains harboring cry14 genes were also abundant (14.2%). cry21 and cry5 genes were less abundant, found in 4.2% and 2.8% of the strains, respectively. In total, six different nematode-active cry gene profiles were detected in this collection. Four isolates did not show the expected PCR product size for cry5, cry6, and cry21 genes; they might contain potentially novel insecticidal crystal protein genes. Twenty-two Bt isolates containing nematode-active cry genes were selected for preliminary bioassays on M. incognita. Based on these bioassays, four isolates were selected for detailed bioassays. Isolates YD5 and KON4 at 2 x 10(8) CFU/mL concentrations showed 77% and 81% toxicity on M. incognita, respectively. The free-living nematodes C. tenuis and A. enoplus were more susceptible and the highest mortality was observed within 48 h of incubation at all of the concentrations tested. Maximum mortality was recorded for isolates SN1 and KON4 at 2 x 10(8) CFU/mL concentrations and resulted in 68% and 77% adults deaths of C. tenuis and 68% and 72% for A. enoplus, respectively. Our results showed that PCR is a useful technique for toxicity prediction of nematicidal Bt isolates.     

Cloning of cry2Aa and cry2Ab genes from new isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis and their expression in recombinant Bacillus thuringiensis and Escherichia coli strains

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is the major source for transfer of genes to impart insect resistance in transgenic plants. Cry2A proteins of Bt are promising candidates for management of resistance development in insects due to their difference from the currently used Cry1A proteins, in structure and insecticidal mechanism. Two insecticidal crystal protein genes of Bt, viz. cry2Aa and cry2Ab were cloned from new isolates of Bt, 22-4 and 22-11, respectively. Expression of both the genes was studied in an acrystalliferous strain of Bt (4Q7) by fusing the cry2Aa and cry2Ab genes downstream of cry2Aa promoter and orf1 + orf2 sequences. Western blot analysis revealed a low level expression of the cloned cry2Aa and cry2Ab genes in the recombinant Bt strains. High-level expression of cry2Aa and cry2Ab genes was achieved in the recombinant E. coli by cloning the cry2A genes under the control of the T7 promoter.     

Distribution and diversity of cry genes in native strains of Bacillus thuringiensis obtained from different ecosystems from Colombia

Colombia is a tropical country located at the north of South America. It is considered to be one of the most important countries in terms of its biodiversity worldwide. One hundred and eight soil samples obtained from agricultural crops and wild ecosystems were evaluated in terms of the presence of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) native strains. One hundred and eight different Bt strains were isolated and characterized by the presence of crystal proteins by SDS-PAGE and a multiplex PCR with general and specific primers for cry1 and cry3, cry7, and cry8 gene detection. Most of the Bt strains (73%) reacted with the cry1 general primers; 27.8% of the Bt strains reacted with cry3, cry7, and cry8 general primers and 17.8% of strains did not react with any of these two sets of primers. Thirty different PCR profiles were found in the strains with cry1 genes when they were analyzed with specific primers (cry1A to cry1F). A high frequency of joint occurrence was observed for cry1Aa/cry1Ab, cry1Aa/cry1Ac, cry1Ab/cry1Ac, and cry1C/cry1D genes with a Pearson coefficient of 0.88, 0.74, 0.76, and 0.87, respectively. Other distinctive characteristics were found in the Colombian collection as the presence of 22.2% of native strains which presented, at the same time, lepidopteran and coleopteran active genes. Interesting relations were found as well between the cry gene distribution and the geographical areas sampled. Finally, some strains with moderate to high biopesticide activity against Spodoptera frugiperda (Lepidoptera) and Premnotrypes vorax (Coleoptera) insects were identified, this being important to explore future microbial strategies for the control of these crop pests in the region.     

Characterization of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bacillus thuringiensis</Emphasis> Strain DOR4 Toxic to Castor Semilooper <Emphasis Type="Italic">Achaea janata</Emphasis>: Proteolytic Processing and Binding of Toxins to Receptors

We have isolated a strain of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) from Indian soil samples that was shown to be toxic to Achaea janata larvae. The isolate, named B. thuringiensis DOR4, serotypically identified with the standard subspecies kurstaki (H3a3b3c) and produced bipyramidal inclusions along with an amorphous type. Although the plasmid pattern of DOR4 was different from that of the reference strain, a crystal protein profile showed the presence of two major bands (130 and 65 kDa) similar to those of Bt subsp. kurstaki HD-1. To verify the cry gene content of DOR4, triplex PCR analysis was performed; it showed amplification of the cry1C gene in addition to cry1Aa, cry1Ac, cry2A, and cry2B genes, but not the cry1Ab gene. RT-PCR analysis showed the expression of cry1Aa and cry1Ac genes. In vitro proteolysis of DOR4 protoxin with midgut extract generated products of different sizes. Zymogram analysis of DOR4 protoxin as substrate pointed to a number of distinct proteases that were responsible for activation of protoxins. Furthermore, toxin overlay analysis revealed the presence of multiple toxin-binding proteins in midgut epithelium. Based on all these characterizations, we suggest that the Bt DOR4 strain can be exploited for an A. janata control program.     

晶胞粘连苏云金芽胞杆菌C15杀线虫毒力因子发掘与功能鉴定

苏云金芽胞杆菌（Bacillus thuringiensis,Bt）制剂作为一种高效的微生物杀虫剂,在植物病虫害防控领域有着广泛的应用。Bt制剂的主效成分为杀虫晶体和芽胞,其中,杀虫晶体的环境低持久性是Bt农药应用的重要限制因素之一。自然界中存在着一些Bt菌株,其产生的杀虫晶体位于芽胞外壁和芽胞衣之间,这种特殊的表型被称为晶胞粘连（spore-crystal association, SCA）表型。由于芽胞外壁对晶体的保护作用,SCA表型可以提升晶体抵抗不良环境因素的能力,是开发新型Bt生物囊杀虫剂的有效育种策略。本文选取对线虫具有强毒杀能力的 SCA菌株C15作为研究对象。获得了C15菌株的完整基因组序列,包括一个5 637 049 bp的环状染色体和8个不同大小的环形质粒（240 314 bp到3 188 bp）。C15基因编码了5个杀虫蛋白（Cry蛋白）基因：cry21-99、cry21-67、cry21-66、cry21-46和cry-N。在Bt无晶体突变株BMB171中异源表达cry21-99基因,发现其表达产物形成菱形晶体,且对秀丽隐杆线虫（Caenorhabditis elegans）和南方根结线虫（Meloidogyne incognita）均有毒杀活性。同时,还在全基因组范围内预测了Cry毒素以外的杀线虫毒力因子和次生代谢产物。此外,在C15基因组中预测了本团队已报道的苏云金芽胞杆菌幕虫亚种（B. thuringiensis serovar finitimus）菌株YBT-020 SCA表型决定因子的同源基因,缺失后突变体仍然保留稳定的SCA表型,说明C15菌株的SCA表型形成机制与YBT-020不同,该菌株代表了一种新的SCA表型形成机制。本研究为转基因作物防控线虫提供了新的遗传资源,也为研究SCA表型形成机制,开发新型高效Bt制剂提供了新线索。

cry Genes profiling and the toxicity of isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis from soil samples against American bollworm,Helicoverpa armigera

Aims: The aim of this study was to search for Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) harbouring cry1A gene which could effectively control cotton pest, American bollworm, Helicoverpa armigera. Methods and Results: cry gene profiling of 50 Bt isolates showed the presence of cry1, cry2, cry3, cry4, cry7, cry8 and cry9 genes. None of the isolates harboured cry1 gene alone. It was always found in combination with cry3. There was no isolate positive for cry10 gene. Considering isolates with single cry genes, the frequency of cry4 was predominant (22%) followed cry2 (6%), cry3 (4%) and cry8 (2%). Isolates having two cry genes in combination had 14% incidence for cry2 + cry4, 12% for cry3 + cry4 and 10% for cry1 + cry3. The most dominant three gene linkage was cry1 + cry3 + cry4. Further profiling of cry1 gene showed that cry1K gene was abundantly present in all combinations such as cry1A, cry1D, cry1F and cry1I. However, cry1C existed independent of other subtypes. Finally, the Bt isolates with cry1A were analyzed for 16S rRNA gene, which showed two distinct groups of isolates on the basis of sequence homology. Bioassays of spore–crystal mixtures of SBS‐Bt4, 8, 17, 21 and 26 harbouring cry1 against neonate larvae of H. armigera showed LC₅₀ 1288, 1202, 467·7, 524·8 and 108·5 μg ml^?1. The SBS‐Bt26 showed fourfold higher toxicity than the cry 1Ac harbouring positive control, HD‐73. Conclusions: None of the isolates harboured single cry 1 gene. They were always in combination of two or three genes. A Bt isolate (Bt26) had fourfold higher toxicity against H. armigera larvae compared with the positive control HD 73 and hence can be commercially exploited to control insect pest. Significance and Impact of the Study: The inter relationship between the cry genes content and the toxicity may allow better understanding of Bt ecology.     

Cloning and characterization of truncated <Emphasis Type="Italic">cry1Ab</Emphasis> gene from a new indigenous isolate of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Bacillus thuringiensis</Emphasis>

The insecticidal crystal protein(s) encoded by cry gene(s) of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have been used for insect control both as biopesticides and in transgenic plants. A new 3′-truncated cry1Ab gene was cloned from an indigenous isolate of Bt, A19-31. Nucleotide sequencing and homology search revealed that the deduced amino acid sequence of Cry1Ab toxin of Bt strain A19-31 had a variation of two amino acid residues with the holotype sequence, Cry1Ab1. Expression of the 3′-truncated cry1Ab gene was studied in an acrystalliferous strain of Bt (4Q7). SDS-PAGE and immunostrip analysis of spore-crystal mixture revealed a low level expression of the 3′-truncated cry1Ab gene. Insecticidal activity assay showed that the recombinant 3′-truncated cry1Ab gene product was toxic to larvae of both Helicoverpa armigera and Spodoptera litura.     

Diversity of Bacillus thuringiensis strains from soil in China and their pesticidal activities

A large number of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) isolates have been obtained from soil samples in China. The flagellar antigen serotypes, cry genes and crystal proteins of 570 Bt isolates were determined, and the pesticidal activity was assayed against the insects, Plutella xylostella, Heliothis armigera, Phaedon brassicae and Locusta migratoria manilensis, and the snail, Oncomelania hupensis. The results indicated that the Bt isolates were distributed within 35 H-serotypes, in which isolates of H3 were the most abundant (20%) followed by H5 (13%), H7 (9%) and H4 (8.7%), whereas isolates of other H-serotypes were less than 6%. The percentage of isolates containing the genes cry1Ac, cry1Aa/cry1Ac, cry1Aa/cry1Ac/cry1Ab, and cry1Aa/cry1Ac/cry1C was 14.7%, 6.6%, 5.6%, and 7.0%, respectively, while 265 isolates, representing 46.5% of the 570 Bt isolates, did not show any amplification product for the genes cry1Aa, cry1Ac, cry1C, cry2, cry3, cry4, cry7Aa. Some of the 570 Bt isolates caused high mortality of the assayed pests with 14.9%, 6%, 1.6%, 1.1%, and 0.2% of the isolates killing more than 90% of P. xylostella, H. armigera, P. brassicae, O. hupensis, and L. migratoria manilensis, respectively. The remaining 76.2% of the 570 isolates caused no mortality or less than 90% mortality against the tested insect and snail species.
