Vip3C, a novel class of vegetative insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis
Applied and Environmental Microbiology 78 (19), 7163-7165
Abstract: Three vip3 genes were identified in two Bacillus thuringiensis Spanish collections. Sequence analysis revealed a novel Vip3 protein class (Vip3C). Preliminary bioassays of larvae from 10 different lepidopteran species indicated that Vip3Ca3 caused more than 70% mortality in four species after 10 days at 4 μg/cm².
