Engineering a thermostable recombinant Bacillus thuringiensis serovar tenebrionis expressing a date palm dehydrin gene for improved red palm weevil biocontrol
The efficacy of Bacillus thuringiensis based biopesticides under field conditions is frequently compromised due to the thermal degradation of δ-endotoxins at elevated temperatures. Dehydrins (DHNs) are highly hydrophilic and intrinsically disordered proteins characterized by flexible structures and the ability to inter...
