The biopesticides produced by Bacillus thuringiensis have been widely used in the world. On the foundation of exploiting the resource of Bacillus thuringiensis, insecticidal crystal protein genes and helper protein genes were cloned, the appropriate recipient strains were screened, different kinds of vectors were constructed, and expression and regulation of insecticidal crystal protein gene were studies. Environmental safe, highly effective genetically modified Bacillus thuringiensis strains with stable expression have been constructed. Bacillus thuringiensis WG-001 was the first genetically modified pesticide strain which is safety used as a commercial product in China.
Keywords: Bacillus thuringiensis, insecticidal cystal protein genes, genetically modified strains, gene expression and regulation
