USE OF THE CPCR REGULATOR GENE FOR OBTAINING NEW RECOMBINANT STRAINS OF BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS WITH REDUCED SPORULATION CAPACITY

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of a cpcR regulator gene, which directs the expression of promoters of genes encoding Cry proteins, for reducing the sporulation of a strain of Bacillus thuringiensis, new recombinant strains of Bacillus thuringiensis and uses thereof as biopesticide.
