| Abstract: | Two new Bacillus thuringiensis strains have been classified by the H antigen of the cells and differentiated by their morphological, biochemical and molecular characteristics. The flagellar agglutination showed that both strains bore specific H antigens which allowed their classification as the new serotypes H57 and H59. The serovar names proposed for the type strains characterized in this work are B. thuringiensis ser. pirenaica, for the H serotype 57, and B. thuringiensis ser. iberica, for the H serotype 59. Further characterization of these strains, by means of SDS-PAGE, Western inmunodetection, plasmid profile and cry -gene identification by polymerase chain reaction, confirmed the originality of the two novel serotypes. Toxicity tests carried out against several insect species, belonging to the orders Lepidoptera, Diptera and Coleoptera, showed no detectable insecticidal activity for either of the B. thuringiensis strains. |
