1.Introduction

    In our project, we transform theexpression vector of Cry and Cyt toxins. Based on the toxin groups,we construct six various toxins express devices as Figure1. To compare the toxicities, we also tested the toxicity of Bacillus thuringiensis strain LLP229.

2.Material, Condition and Method

    The larvae of Ae. albopictus are feeding in the Key Laboratory of Biopesticideand Chemical Biology. The generation of Ae.albopictus is 11. The LLP229strain of Bacillus thuringiensis isprovided by Key Laboratory of Biopesticide and Chemical Biology. The concentration of LLP229is recorded in eachtable.</p>

The CC530 and FA479 strains of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and TAP mediumare bought from the Aquatic Species Research Institute in Wuhan, Hubei. The concentration of Chlamydomonasreinhardtii is recorded ineach table.

We contrasted various toxins groupexpression vectors and transform them into Chlamydomonasreinhardtii as following groups: Cry4Aa+2A+Cyt1,Cry4Aa+2A+Cyt2, Cry10Aa+2A+Cyt1, Cry10Aa+2A+Cyt2, Cry11Aa+2A+Cyt1,Cry11Aa+2A+Cyt2.

The toxicity analysis condition is in anenvironmentally controlled room (T=28±1 °C, RH=85%±5%, L: D=14:10).

Bioassay of variousconcentrations were assayed against 30 third-instar larvae in 20 ml of dechlorinatedwater. Each group was replicated 3 times. The level of mortality was recordedafter 48 hours. Then calculated the corrected mortality. The bioassay was thenrepeated such that a concentration range yielding 10–90% mortality was obtainedand the 50% lethal concentration (LC₅₀) was calculated.

Table 1.1 Toxicity of LLP29 to A. albopictus

Repeating group	Number of insects	Number of mortality	Corrected mortality (%)
1	30	30	100
2	30	30	100
3	30	30	100
Control	30	0	0

Note. Thenconcentration of LLP29 is 2.16 x 10⁹ (OD₇₅₀ of 1.0 = 8 x 10⁸ cells/ml,OD₇₅₀ =2.7A.)

Note. Thenconcentration of LLP29 is 2.16 x 10⁹ (OD₇₅₀ of 1.0 = 8 x 10⁸ cells/ml,OD₇₅₀ =2.7A)
