摘要
Two truncated Bacillus thuringiensis δ-endotoxin genes, belonging to the classes cry1Ab and cry1B, and both coding for N-terminal toxic fragments of the corresponding crystal proteins, were translationally fused. Expression of the fusion gene driven by the cry1C promoter in Escherichia coli at a very high level resulted in a protein with enhanced toxicity to the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella).
