Abstract

A 3,080-base-pair KpnI-HindIII DNA fragment from Bacillus sphaericus 2362 coding for 51- and 42-kilodalton mosquitocidal proteins was cloned into Bacillus subtilis DB104 by using the vector pUB18. In B. subtilis these proteins were not detected during vegetative growth but were expressed during sporulation at levels comparable to those found in B. spaericus.
