Abstract: The novel Bacillus thuringiensis SHJ-5 was isolated from the soil in Heilongjiang province.This paper was a study on the strain SHJ-5,including that the shape of the crystal,the cry-type,protein expression and insecticidal activity.It produced blunt diamond-shaped crystals.It was identified that strain SHJ-5 contained cry1Aa,cry1Ea,cry1Be,cry1Ah,cry1Ai,cry2Ab,cry1I and vip3A gene by PCR-RFLP.SDS-PAGE analysis indicated that the strain produced a 130-150 kDa protein and a 60 kDa protein.Bioassay showed that strain SHJ-5 had high insecticidal activity to Helicoverpa armigera and Plutella xylostella.The corrected mortality to the two target insects was 100% and 96.7%,respectively.

Key words: Bacillus thuringiensis, PCR-RFLP, Clone, Insecticidal activity
