A 2,175-bp modified gene (cry11Ba-S1) encoding Cry11Ba fromBacillus thuringiensissubsp.jegathesanwas designed and the recombinant protein was expressed as a fusion protein with glutathioneS-transferase inEscherichia coli. The recombinant Cry11Ba was highly toxic againstCulex pipiensmosquito larvae, being nine and 17 times more toxic than mosquitocidal Cry4Aa and Cry11Aa fromBacillus thuringiensissubsp.israelensis, respectively. Interestingly, a further increase in the toxicity of the recombinant Cry11Ba was achieved by mixing with Cry4Aa, but not with Cry11Aa. These findings suggested that Cry11Ba worked synergistically with Cry4Aa, but not with Cry11Aa, in exhibiting toxicity againstC. pipienslarvae. On the other hand, the amount of Cry toxin bound to brush border membrane vesicles (BBMVs) did not significantly change between individual toxins and the toxin mixtures, suggesting that the increase in toxins binding to BBMVs was not a reason for the observed synergistic effect. It is generally accepted that synergism of toxins is a potentially powerful tool for enhancing insecticidal activity and managing Cry toxin resistance in mosquitoes. The mixture of Cry4Aa and Cry11Ba in order to increase toxicity would be very valuable in terms of mosquito control.
