Biochemical studies on the mosquitocidal delta endotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis

Creator:

Pollock, Martin L.

Abstract:

The cytolytic properties of the mosquitocidal 25 Kd protein deltaendotoxin of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis (Bti) was studied using the human erythrocyte as a target cell. Both a fixedtime and a kinetic hemolytic bioassay were developed in order to screen a variety of treatments for their influence on the toxinerythrocyte...
