Rhizopus - Agrobacterium Tumefaciens - Cauliflower Mosaic Virus - Serratia Marcences
Rhizopus is used as a fungal defense system in tobacco plants. The chi1 gene was introduced by the Agro T leaf disc system.
The bacterial chitinase gene from Serratia marcescens was transferred into tobacco plants.
Generated transgenic tobacco plants were used the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S promoter and the bean CH5B gene.
so.folks..we've got tobacco here! I remember a discussion at MDR a while back and most people with Morgellons Disease are smokers! I believe it was 9 out of 10.
We've been researching the Baculovirus all along, but the Cauliflower Mosaic Virus which is used a viral promoter in bio-insecticides is even more dangerous because it has the capability to replicate and reproduce mutated virulent strains. CaMV is also known to pose health risks in humans.
Here are a few excerpts from my posts at MDR according CaMV:
We have recently drawn attention to additional hazards associated with the promoter of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) most
widely used in agriculture.
It is in practically all transgenic plants already commercialized or undergoing field trials, as well as a high proportion of transgenic plants under development, including the much acclaimed ‘golden rice’.
CaMV is closely related to human hepatitis B virus, and less so, to retroviruses such as the AIDS virus.
Although the intact virus itself is infectious only for cruciferae plants, its promoter is promiscuous in function, and is active in all higher plants, in algae, yeast, and E. coli, as well as frog and human cell system.
Finally, viral genes incorporated into transgenic plants have been found to recombine with infecting viruses to generate new viruses.
In some cases, the recombinant viruses are more infectious than the original.
It is not inconceivable that the CaMV 35S promoter in transgenic constructs can reactivate dormant viruses or generate new viruses by recombination.
We have recently drawn attention to additional hazards associated with the promoter of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) most widely used in agriculture.
Like all promoters of viruses and of cellular genes, it has a modular
structure, with parts common to, and interchangeable with promoters of other plant and animal viruses.
It has a recombination hotspot, flanked by multiple motifs involved in recombination, similar to other recombination hotspots including the borders of the Agrobacterium T DNA vector most frequently used in making transgenic plants.
The suspected mechanism of recombination requires little or no DNA sequence homologies.
The CaMV 35S promoter has been joined artificially to copies of a wide range of viral genomes, and infectious viruses produced in the laboratory.
There is also evidence that proviral sequence in the genome can be reactivated.
These considerations are especially relevant in the light of recent findings that certain transgenic potatoes - containing the CaMV 35S
promoter and transformed with Agrobacterium T-DNA - may be unsafe for young rats, and that a significant part of the effects may
be due to "the construct or the genetic transformation (or both) "
The authors also report an increase in lymphocytes in the
intestinal wall, which is a non-specific sign of viral infection.

The Cauliflower Mosaic Virus promoter - a hazard in GE plants
www.psrast.org/newvir.htm
The majority of crop plant constructions for herbicide or disease resistance employ a promoter from Cauliflower Mosaic Virus (CaMV).
Regardless of the gene transferred, all transfers require a promoter, which is like a motor driving production of the genes' message. Without a promoter, the gene is inactive, but replicated.
CaMV is used because it is a powerful motor.
The CaMV promoter normally drives the creation of copies of the CaMV-virus.
This virus contains RNA which is similar to HIV, Human Leukemia Virus and Human hepatitis B. CaMV is closely related to hepatitis B and is closely related to HIV (the AIDS virus).
The CaMV promoter is preferred above other potential promoters because it is more powerful than others and is not greatly influenced by environmental conditions or tissue types.
The perceived hazards of the CaMV promoter in crop plants include the consequences of recombination and pseudo recombination.
Recombination is the exchanges of parts of genes or blocks of genes between chromosomes. Pseudorecombination is a situation in which gene components of one virus are exchanged with the protein coats of another.
It has been shown that the CaMV DNA incorporated into the plant (canola) chromosome recombine with infecting virus to produce more virulent new virus diseases.
The designers of the experiment questioned the safety of transgenic plants containing viral genes.
Recombination between CaMV viruses involves the promoter and may take place either between DNA and DNA or RNA and RNA and frequently creates more severe infections than either parent.
Recently related experiments suggest altered plants may breed deadlier diseases.
Viral genetic elements introduced through genetic engineering are present in every cell of GE plants. A corn plant, for example, contains about a billion cells.
Virus DNA present in GE plants may recombine with infecting viruses to produce new viruses that may be more infective (virulent) and less species-specific than the original virus.
** so.. this is another virus which is used in genetic engineering of plants?
What CAN happen if this virus combines with the Baculovirus used in parasitic wasps as a bioinsecticide?
It will produce a NEW strain of virus! which is NOT species-specific....!
From what I understand here is...it IS possible that the parasitic wasp for example not only carries the Baculovirus but also the CaMV? after infiltrating insects that feed on the plants which in the other hand are genetically modified with this virus?
And this new strain is able to 'cross over' to other insects due the parasitic wasp infiltrating them? and vice versa?
Not mentioning here that THIS in our FOOD!!
I also found quite interesting that this CaMV is similar to human viruses such as Hep B.....

And here is a picture of Serratia Marcences. It looks like the spheres!
Interesting is also the fact that SM causes the so called white pox marks many Morgellons Sufferers have reported to have on their skin.
Another aspect to consider is that fruit flies carry this bacteria!
Here is my blog entry about SM: morgellons2.wordpress.com/2009/09/08/enterobacteria-white-pox-symptom/
It would be interesting to know how many members here are smokers? Maybe we can start a poll?
