Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria are insect pathogens that produce different Cry and Cyt toxins
to kill their hosts. Here we review the group of three-domain Cry (3d-Cry) toxins. Expression …

Bacillus thuringiensis Crystal (Cry) and Cytolitic (Cyt) protein families are a diverse group of
proteins with activity against insects of different orders—Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry toxins constitute the active ingredient in the most widely used
biological insecticides and insect-resistant transgenic crops. A clear understanding of their …

The specific role of cadherin receptors in cytotoxicity involving Cry toxins of Bacillus
thuringiensis and their interactions with cell membrane has not been defined. To elucidate …

Cry toxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis have been recognized as pore-forming toxins
whose primary action is to lyse midgut epithelial cells in their target insect. In the case of the …

B acillus thuringiensis (Bt) bacteria produce insecticidal Cry and Cyt proteins used in the
biological control of different insect pests. In this review, we will focus on the 3d-Cry toxins …

Economically important crops, such as maize and cotton, have been transformed with genes
encoding insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) to confer them protection …

Pore-forming toxins are biological weapons produced by a variety of living organisms,
particularly bacteria but also by insects, reptiles, and invertebrates. These proteins affect the …

Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. israelensis (Bti) has been used worldwide for the control of
dipteran insect pests. This bacterium produces several Cry and Cyt toxins that individually …

Recent advances in process analytical technologies and modelling techniques present
opportunities to improve industrial chromatography control strategies to enhance process …
