Detection and characterization of cyanobacterial nifH genes.

abstract：:Fifteen Bacillus thuringiensis strains representing 13 serotypes were screened with five oligodeoxyribonucleotide probes specific for certain regions of two published sequences and one unpublished sequence of B. thuringiensis delta-endotoxin genes. Of the 15 cultures, 14 hybridized with at least one probe; the B. thur...
