Coleoptera-specific (cry3aa) Delta-endotoxin Biosynthesis By A Local Isolate Of Bt Subsp. Tenebrionis, Gene Cloning And Characterization

Kurt, Aslihan 01 February 2005 (has links) (PDF)
Cry3Aa is a 73 kDa protoxin toxic to insect larvae of Coleoptera order. It is processed to form a stable 65 kDa &amp / #61540 / -endotoxin by endogenous proteases. The first part of this study involved the determination of the patterns of biosynthesis of Coleoptera-specific &amp / #61540 / -endotoxin by a local isolate of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. tenebrionis (Btt) in relation to its growth and sporulation. Among four different media compared (DSM, GYS, HCT and C2) Cry3Aa production was the highest in DSM, especially at 72nd h and 120th h of incubation. For improvement of Cry3Aa production, the effects of different carbon and nitrogen sources, inorganic phosphate and other mineral elements were tested. Increasing concentrations (5-10 g.L-1) of glucose or sucrose decreased the toxin yield probably by suppressing sporulation. Inorganic phosphate was found to have the most striking effect on toxin biosynthesis. 200 mM inorganic phosphate concentration resulted in 5 fold increase in Cry3Aa yield. Cry3Aa production was greatly reduced when various combinations of organic and inorganic nitrogen sources, especially ammonium sulphate and Casamino acids were replaced with Nutrient broth in DSM. The highest Cry3Aa production was obtained in the media containing 10-5-10-7 M MnCl2, 10-5 M FeSO4 and 5.10-4 M MgSO4, corresponding to their original concentrations in DSM. Decrease of iron concentration or its omission from the medium decreased the toxin yield. Toxin production capacity of our local isolate was compared with those of 30 different anti-Coleopteran Bt strains. Most of the strains producing this protein gave general protein banding patterns quite similar to that of our local isolate. Lastly, the cry3Aa gene of the Btt local isolate was PCR-amplified and cloned into the E. coli/Bacillus shuttle vector pNW33N. The recombinant plasmid was amplified in E. coli and the sequence of the cry3Aa was determined. Amino acid sequence deduced was found to be 97.4 %-99.2 % identical to the cry3Aa sequences (GenBank) of 10 different quaternary ranks. In this respect, the gene has to represent the 11th quaternary rank of the cry3Aa ones. The recombinant plasmid carrying cry3Aa gene was next used to transform Bs 168 as an intermediate host and low level of expression was seen.

Gajardo Retamal, Sergio Pablo January 2016 (has links)
Memoria para optar al título profesional de Ingeniero Agrónomo / El tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.) es el cultivo hortícola de mayor importancia a nivel mundial, sin embargo, su rendimiento se ve constantemente afectado por el persistente ataque de plagas y enfermedades a lo largo de la temporada. Dentro de las plagas primarias que afectan al cultivo en Chile, la polilla del tomate (Tuta absoluta Meyrick) es muy relevante, ya que puede ocasionar pérdidas cercanas al 90% en el rendimiento al no ser controlada. El principal método de control de este lepidóptero se ha restringido tradicionalmente al uso de plaguicidas de origen químico, práctica que en la actualidad está siendo fuertemente cuestionada debido al daño al ambiente, a insectos benéficos, a la salud humana, así como también por el desarrollo de resistencia a estos productos por parte de la plaga.

Biological control, by using of entomopathogenic microorganisms is an important tool for the management of this pest. However, the main obstacle in terms of efficiency and conservation of these microbial agents in the field is related to the compatibility with pesticides. The aim of the research was to analyze the susceptibility of P. xylostella to entomopathogenic microorganisms and evaluate the compatibility of the most virulent entomopathogens with insecticides registered for the control of pest complex in cabbage crop. Efficiency of 13 isolates of the entomopathogenic bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis was analyzed, in addition to isolates of the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium rileyi, Isaria fumosorosea, I. sinclairii and Lecanicillium muscarium by performing pathogenicity and virulence tests (LC50 and LT50) on second instar larvae of P. xylostella. The interaction between the isolates and active ingredients was made from the mixture of the insecticide in the culture medium, inoculated with an aliquot of the microorganism suspension after medium solidify, evaluated the number of spores / mL (B. thuringiensis), and the colony growth, the number and conidia viability (entomopathogenic fungi) after seven days the inoculation of these microorganisms.

A produção dessas proteínas em grande escala está relacionada a mecanismos transcricionais, como por exemplo, a expressão de um gene sob o controle de um promotor forte. Tendo em vista que a bactéria Bti SPS1 (Patente PI0200228-0) foi isolada do território brasileiro e que possui potencial para o controle de vetores por produzir uma maior quantidade de esporos/cristais em menor tempo, este trabalho teve por finalidade a caracterização da região promotora dos genes cry4Aa, cry4Ba e cry11Aa de Bti SPS1 pelas técnicas de PCR e “Southern blotting”. Em associação a estas técnicas, foi realizado bioensaio para a verificação da mortalidade de larvas de Aedes aegypti. Os resultados das análises moleculares indicaram homologia no perfil de hibridização da região promotora da linhagem padrão Bti T14-001 e do isolado Bti SPS1. A quantificação das suspensões em espectrofotômetro (DO600nm) e a leitura de esporos em câmara de Neubauer, revelaram que o isolado Bti SPS1 produz uma maior quantidade de esporos/cristais em relação à linhagem padrão Bti T14-001. O bioensaio apresentou elevados índices de mortalidade. Estes resultados tornam a bactéria Bti SPS1 uma fonte promissora para novas formulações visando o controle de vetores. / Among the microorganisms used for mosquitoes’ control the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) is frequently considered since it presents toxic activities’ against Diptera, producing crystal inclusions including Cry proteins, which are coded by a sole plasmid borne set of genes. The production of these proteins in large scale is related to transcriptional mechanisms, as an example, a particular gene expression controlled by a strong promoter. Since the Bti bacterial isolate SPS1 (Patent PI0200228-0) was isolated within the Brazilian territory and exhibits potential for the control of vector insects due to a higher crystal production ability in shorter time period, this work had as objective the characterization of the promotion region for the genes cry4Aa, cry4Ba e cry11Aa using PCR and “Southern blotting” techniques. Also some bioassays using Aedes aegypti larvae were carried out. The results from the molecular analysis have indicated homology for the hybridization profile from the promoter region from the type strain of Bti T14-001 and that of the SPS1 isolate. Spectrofotometric (OD600nm) and Neubauer chamber measures have revealed that the SPS1 isolate produces a higher amount of spore/crystal as compared to the Bti T14-001 strain. The bioassay presented higher mortality levels. These results seem to indicate that the isolate SPS1 is a promising bacterial strain to be used on formulations able to control insect vector pests.

Among these microorganisms the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis has been stood out. This bacterium is characterized by the production of toxic proteins to representatives of several insect orders. In particular, the Vip3A proteins are in large study due to its specificity, and high active potential as an alternative to control of insect's resistance to Cry proteins. According to this, the aim of this work was to select from 1080 isolates in different Brazilian regions, those carrying vip3A genes and obtain the complete nucleotide sequence of the same. The standard strains B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki HD1, B. thuringiensis var. tolworthi HD125 and the isolate I187 had their DNA amplified with primers based on vip3A gene sequence described in database of B. thuringiensis, and from the amplicons obtained, the full sequence of nucleotides was determined, by the use of the strategy of primer walking. The protein Vip3Aa43 (GenBank: [HQ594534]) of HD1 strain showed to be 100% identical to Vip3Aa proteins already described. However, the proteins Vip3Aa42 (GenBank: [HQ587048]) of HD125 strain and Vip3Ag5 (GenBank: [HQ542193]) of the isolate I187 showed 99% similarity with the Vip3Aa35 and Vip3Ag2 proteins described, respectively, showing been two new Vip3A proteins due to amino acid substitutions occurred. The three vip3A genes obtained can be used in the production of Bt crops, pyramidal or not, aiming to resistance management of pest insects

Biological control, by using of entomopathogenic microorganisms is an important tool for the management of this pest. However, the main obstacle in terms of efficiency and conservation of these microbial agents in the field is related to the compatibility with pesticides. The aim of the research was to analyze the susceptibility of P. xylostella to entomopathogenic microorganisms and evaluate the compatibility of the most virulent entomopathogens with insecticides registered for the control of pest complex in cabbage crop. Efficiency of 13 isolates of the entomopathogenic bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis was analyzed, in addition to isolates of the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium rileyi, Isaria fumosorosea, I. sinclairii and Lecanicillium muscarium by performing pathogenicity and virulence tests (LC50 and LT50) on second instar larvae of P. xylostella. The interaction between the isolates and active ingredients was made from the mixture of the insecticide in the culture medium, inoculated with an aliquot of the microorganism suspension after medium solidify, evaluated the number of spores / mL (B. thuringiensis), and the colony growth, the number and conidia viability (entomopathogenic fungi) after seven days the inoculation of these microorganisms. The isolates of B. thuringiensis HD-1, HD-4, HD-11, HD-73 and T-07were the most efficient in P. xylostella control, responsible for overall mortality, with LC50 ranging from 0.75 to 11.66 × 103 spores / mL and TL50 between 25.12 to 34.47 h. The isolates IBCB01, IBCB18, IBCB66 and IBCB87 of B. bassiana, LCMAP101 of M. rileyi and ARSEF7973 of I. sinclairii caused mortality between ... / Doutor
