Characterization of Two Novel <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> Cry8 Toxins Reveal Differential Specificity of Protoxins or Activated Toxins against Chrysomeloidea Coleopteran Superfamily

Characterization of Two Novel <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> Cry8 Toxins Reveal Differential Specificity of Protoxins or Activated Toxins against Chrysomeloidea Coleopteran Superfamily

Scarabaeoidea and Chrysomeloidea insects are agriculture-destructive coleopteran pests. Few effective <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> (Bt) insecticidal proteins against these species have been described. Bt isolate BtSU4 was found to be active against coleopteran insects. Genome sequencing...
