Multiplex PCR Screening To Detect cry9 Genes in Bacillus thuringiensis Strains

Ben-Dov, Eitan, Wang, Qingfeng, Zaritsky, Arieh, Manasherob, Robert, Barak, Ze’ev, Schneider, Bert, ...

An extended PCR method was established to rapidly identify and classify Bacillus thuringiensis strains containing cry (crystal protein) genes toxic to lepidopteran, coleopteran, and dipteran pests...

Model for Bacteriophage T4 Development in Escherichia coli

Rabinovitch, Avinoam, Hadas, Hilla, Einav, Monica, Melamed, Zeev, Zaritsky, Arieh

Mathematical relations for the number of mature T4 bacteriophages, both inside and after lysis of an Escherichia coli cell, as a function of time after infection by a single phage were obtained, with...

Germination, Growth, and Sporulation of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis in Excreted Food Vacuoles of the Protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis

Manasherob, Robert, Ben-Dov, Eitan, Zaritsky, Arieh, Barak, Ze’ev

Spores of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis and their toxic crystals are bioencapsulated in the protozoan Tetrahymena pyriformis, in which the toxin remains stable. Each T. pyriformis cell...

Complete Sequence and Organization of pBtoxis, the Toxin-Coding Plasmid of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis

Berry, Colin, O'Neil, Susan, Ben-Dov, Eitan, Jones, Andrew F., Murphy, Lee, Quail, Michael A., ...

The entire 127,923-bp sequence of the toxin-encoding plasmid pBtoxis from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis is presented and analyzed. In addition to the four known Cry and two known Cyt...

Ammonium Excretion by an l-Methionine-dl-Sulfoximine-Resistant Mutant of the Rice Field Cyanobacterium Anabaena siamensis

Thomas, Selwin P., Zaritsky, Arieh, Boussiba, Sammy

An ammonium-excreting mutant (SS1) of the rice field nitrogen-fixing cyanobacterium Anabaena siamensis was isolated after ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis by selection on 500 μM...

Effects of Growth Temperature on Ribosomes and Other Physiological Properties of Escherichia coli

Zaritsky, Arieh

The amount of ribosomal protein relative to total protein remained constant when Escherichia coli B/r was grown at different temperatures. Some effects of growth temperature on bacterial physiology...

Partial Restoration of Antibacterial Activity of the Protein Encoded by a Cryptic Open Reading Frame (cyt1Ca) from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis by Site-Directed Mutagenesis

Itsko, Mark, Manasherob, Robert, Zaritsky, Arieh

Insecticidal crystal proteins of Bacillus thuringiensis belong to two unrelated toxin families: receptor-specific Cry toxins against insects and Cyt toxins that lyse a broad range of cells, including...
