✦ Synopsis

The biotoxicity analysis of crystal protein of some Bacillus thuringiensis strains has been carried out against the larvae of red flour beetle Tribolium casteneum (Hebst), previously. Seven isolates were found highly active against T. casteneum. The most toxic isolate SG31.11 has calculated LC 50 value of 0.2 g/mg of artificial diet. Presently, the active protein of isolate SG31.11was sequenced and data showed that it resembles with a novel Cry3 protein.
