DOIAbstract
Three vip3 genes were identified in two Bacillus thuringiensis Spanish collections. Sequence analysis revealed a novel Vip3 protein class (Vip3C). Preliminary bioassays of larvae from 10 different lepidopteran species indicated that Vip3Ca3 caused more than 70% mortality in four species after 10 days at 4 μg/cm2.This research was supported by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (grant AGL2009-13340-C02), by grant ACOMP/2009/313 from the Generalitat Valenciana, by European FEDER funds, and by Bayer BioScience N.V
