RESUMO
Two sets of inverted repeat DNA sequences, IR2150 and IR1750, were discovered flanking the crystal protein gene on the 75-kilobase plasmid of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki HD73. A restriction map of ca. 40 kilobases around the crystal protein gene was constructed, and the positions of the copies of IR2150 and IR1750 were determined. Three copies of IR2150 were found flanking the crystal protein gene in an inverted orientation, and one partial and three intact copies of IR1750 were found in both inverted and direct orientations around the gene. Hybridization experiments with fragments from within IR2150 and IR1750 demonstrated the presence of multiple copies of these sequences on the chromosome of B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki HD73 and also revealed a strong correlation between the presence of these sequences and the presence of the crystal protein gene on plasmids from 14 strains of B. thuringiensis.
