Abstract
The delta-endotoxin from Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies kurstaki strain HD1-9 is almost 400 times more potent than the delta-endotoxin from strain HD-73 as a gypsy moth larvicide. The two delta-endotoxins compete for a high-affinity binding site on the brush border membrane of larval gypsy moth midguts. The affinity for the delta-endotoxin from strain HD-73 is much greater than the affinity for the delta-endotoxin from strain HD1-9.Entities:
