SE HA CLONADO UN NUEVO TOXICO DE GENES DE TOXINA B.T. PARA INSECTOS LEPIDOPTEROS, PARTIENDO DE UN MICROBIO B. THURINGIENSIS ACTIVO DE LEPIDOPTEROS. EL DNA QUE CODIFICA LA TOXINA B.T. PUEDE USARSE PARA TRANSFORMAR VARIOS MICROBIOS PROCARIOTICAS Y EUCARIOTICOS, PARA EXPRESAR LA TOXINA B.T. LOS MICROBIOS RECOMBINANTES PUEDEN USARSE PARA CONTROLAR INSECTOS LEPIDOPTEROS EN VARIOS AMBIENTES. A novel B.t. toxin gene toxic to lepidopteran insects has been cloned from a novel lepidopteran-active B. thuringiensis microbe. The DNA encoding the B.t. toxin can be used to transform various prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes to express the B.t. toxin. These recombinant microbes can be used to control lepidopteran insects in various environments.
