  • Title: Antibacterial activity of Cry- and Cyt-proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. israelensis.
    Author: Yudina TG, Konukhova AV, Revina LP, Kostina LI, Zalunin IA, Chestukhina GG.
    Journal: Can J Microbiol; 2003 Jan; 49(1):37-44. PubMed ID: 12674346.
    Abstract:
    Mosquitocidal endotoxins Cry4B, Cry11A, and CytA from Bacillus thuringiensis ssp. israelensis as well as the products of their limited proteolysis display antibacterial activity relative to Micrococcus luteus. The endotoxin Cry11A also induces the lysis of the micrococcus protoplasts. Potassium and sodium ions and N-acetylgalactosamine increased the antibacterial effect of Cry11A, whereas glucose and N-acetylglucosamine inhibited it. The endotoxin Cry11A displays the antibacterial effect on some other microorganisms.
