InhA, a zinc metalloprotease secreted by Bacillus thuringiensis, specifically hydrolyzes two antibacterial peptides in lepidopterans and dipterans. Using techniques of molecular cloning, one fragment with a length of 2.4 kb was then cloned and sequenced. Sequence analysis demonstrates that the deduced amino acid sequence of inhA gene from B. thuringiensis strain 8010 shows high identity to that of other 8. thuringiensis strains and Bacillus cereus strains. In addition, they all contain the zinc- binding motif (HEXXH), which is proved to be characteristic of the zinc- metalloprotease family.

A novel Bacillus thuringiensis named LLB6 was isolated in Wuyi Mountain of China, and it was characterized by scanning electron microscopy as a mixture of round and bipyramidal crystals. Bioassays indicated that LLB6 was toxic Aedes albopictus (Diptera), a vector of dengue. Cry2 gene was detected by PCR with novel general and specific primers for cry and cyt genes encoding proteins active against mosquitoes and a new genenamed cry2Ac5 by the Bacillus
