Screening of Bacillus thuringiensis strains effective against mosquitoes (2005)

Monnerat,Rose Gomes, Dias,Daniel Gerhein Souza, Silva,Silvania Ferreira Da, Martins,Erica Soares, Berry,Colin, Falcão,Rosana, ...

The objective of this work was to evaluate 210 Bacillus thuringiensis strains against Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus larvae to select the most effective. These strains were isolated from...

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...

Staphylococcus aureus DNA ligase: characterization of its kinetics of catalysis and development of a high-throughput screening compatible chemiluminescent hybridization protection assay

Gul, Sheraz, Brown, Richard, May, Earl, Mazzulla, Marie, Smyth, Martin G., Berry, Colin, ...

DNA ligases are key enzymes involved in the repair and replication of DNA. Prokaryotic DNA ligases uniquely use NAD+ as the adenylate donor during catalysis, whereas eukaryotic enzymes use ATP. This...

Potencies of Human Immunodeficiency Virus Protease Inhibitors In Vitro against Plasmodium falciparum and In Vivo against Murine Malaria

Andrews, Katherine T., Fairlie, David P., Madala, Praveen K., Ray, John, Wyatt, David M., Hilton, Petrina M., ...

Parasite resistance to antimalarial drugs is a serious threat to human health, and novel agents that act on enzymes essential for parasite metabolism, such as proteases, are attractive targets for...

Conjugal Transfer of a Toxin-Coding Megaplasmid from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis to Mosquitocidal Strains of Bacillus sphaericus

Gammon, Katherine, Jones, Gareth W., Hope, Steven J., De Oliveira, Cláudia M. F., Regis, Lêda, Silva Filha, Maria Helena N. L., ...

Both Bacillus sphaericus and Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis produce mosquitocidal toxins during sporulation and are extensively used in the field for control of mosquito populations. All...

Transcriptional Analysis of the Toxin-Coding Plasmid pBtoxis from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis

Stein, Claudia, Jones, Gareth W., Chalmers, Tanya, Berry, Colin

In Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. israelensis all of the insecticidal toxins are encoded on a single, large plasmid, pBtoxis. Sequencing of this plasmid revealed 125 potential coding sequences, many...

Proteolytic Stability of Insecticidal Toxins Expressed in Recombinant Bacilli▿

Yang, Yankun, Wang, Liwei, Gaviria, Adelaida, Yuan, Zhiming, Berry, Colin

The production of the vegetative mosquitocidal toxin Mtx1 from Bacillus sphaericus was redirected to the sporulation phase by replacement of its weak, native promoter with the strong sporulation...

Mtx Toxins Synergize Bacillus sphaericus and Cry11Aa against Susceptible and Insecticide-Resistant Culex quinquefasciatus Larvae▿

Wirth, Margaret C., Yang, Yangkun, Walton, William E., Federici, Brian A., Berry, Colin

Two mosquitocidal toxins (Mtx) of Bacillus sphaericus, which are produced during vegetative growth, were investigated for their potential to increase toxicity and reduce the expression of insecticide...

A Review of Quality-of-Life Evaluations in Patients with Congestive Heart Failure

Colin Berry, John McMurray

The factors that may lead to an impaired quality of life in congestive heart failure (CHF) are physical symptoms, psychological problems, treatment adverse effects and social limitation. There are...
