METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INSECTS USING GENETICALLY MODIFIED BACILLUS AND PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF COMPOSITIONS USED IN THE INVENTION METHOD FOR THE MANIPULATION OF BACILLUS THURINGIENSIS AND BACCILLUS CEREUS, VECTORS SUITABLE FOR THAT END AND PROCESSES FOR THEIR PREPARATION, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING INSECTS USING GENETICALLY MODIFIED BACILLUS AND PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF COMPOSITIONS USED IN THE METHOD

摘要

The present invention describes a process which makes it possible to carry out direct and targeted genetic manipulation of Bacillus thuringiensis and the closely related B. cereus using recombinant DNA technology. The present invention also relates to the construction of plasmids and shuttle vectors and to the B. thuringiensis strains transformed therewith. Likewise described is a process for the direct cloning, expression and identification of genes in B. thuringiensis and the closely related B. cereus. IMAGE
