Improving the Insecticidal Activity against Resistant Culex quinquefasciatus Mosquitoes by Expression of Chitinase Gene chiAC in Bacillus sphaericus

Expression of a chitinase gene, chiAC, from Bacillus thuringiensis in B. sphaericus 2297 using the binary toxin promoter yielded a recombinant strain that was 4,297-fold more toxic than strain 2297 against resistant Culex quinquefasciatus. These results show that this chitinase can synergize the tox...
