cry protein is obtained from which one of the following organism ? |
E. coli . Penicillium notatum . Streptococcus aureus . Bacillus thuringiensis. |
Bacillus thuringiensis. |
Specific Bt toxin genes were isolated from Bacillus thuringiensis and incorporated into the several crop plants such as cotton. The toxin is coded by a gene cryIAc named cry. There are a number of them, for example, the proteins encoded by the genes cryIAc and cryIIAb control the cotton bollworms, that of cryIAb controls corn borer. |
