Isolation and characterization of the native entomopathogenic nematode, Heterorhabditis brevicaudis, and its symbiotic bacteria from Taiwan.

The occurrence of Heterorhabditis brevicaudis (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae) and its symbiotic bacteria, Photorhabdus luminescens subsp. akhurstii in Taiwan were recorded for the first time. H.

Cloning and expression of the insecticidal crystal protein gene Cry1Ca9 of Bacillus thuringiensis G10-01A from Taiwan granaries.

A new cry gene (cry1Ca9) was cloned and sequenced from a Bacillus thuringiensis isolate native to Taiwan (G10-01A). The cry1C-type gene, designated cry1Ca9, consisted of an open reading frame of 3,567 bp, encoding a protein of 1,189 amino acid residues. The polypeptide has the deduced amino acid sequences predicting molecular masses of 134.
