Bacillus thuringiensis is a widely used biopesticide that produced various insecticidal active substances during its life cycle. Separation and purification of numerous insecticide have been difficult because the relatively short half-life such substances. On other hand, can be synthetized at different times development, so samples stages to studied, further complicating analysis. A dual genomic proteomic approach would enhance our ability identify substances, particularily using mass...

Butenyl-spinosyn, a secondary metabolite produced by Saccharopolyspora pogona, exhibits strong insecticidal activity than spinosyn. However, the low synthesis capacity and unknown metabolic characteristics of butenyl-spinosyn in wild-type S. pogona limit its broad application engineering. Here, we showed that exhibited increased glucose consumption ability growth rate compared with spinosa, but production was much lower To further elucidate mechanism these different phenotypes, performed...
