The Bacillus thuringiensis spo0F gene was identified by chromosomal DNA sequencing of sporulation mutants derived from a B. thuringiensis transposon insertion library. A spo0F defect in B. thuringiensis, which was suppressed by multicopy hknA or kinA, resulted in the overproduction of the CryIIIA insecticidal crystal protein.
苏云金芽孢杆菌spo0F基因是通过对来自苏云金芽孢杆菌转座子插入文库的芽孢形成突变体的染色体DNA测序鉴定出来的。苏云金芽孢杆菌中的spo0F缺陷可被多拷贝的hknA或kinA抑制,该缺陷会导致CryIIIA杀虫晶体蛋白的过量产生。
