Abstract Bacillus cereus B-04 was isolated in zibo soil and proved as a biocontrol agent of Botrytis cinerea. The aim of this study was to enhance the biocontrol effect of this strain by introduction of a β-1,3-glucanase gene. A 4.1kb DNA fragment containing β-1,3-glucanase gene was inserted into vector pBE2 and pHY300PLK to construct a new plasmid, PBE2-glu and pHY300PLK-glu,which was introduced into Bacillus cereus B-04, resulting in a new strain named B-04-glu.Restriction digestion and β-1,3-glucanase plate culture and PCR experiment confirmed that B-04-glu contained a functional β-1,3-glucanase gene. Compared with wild type B-04 in pot experiment, B-04-glu had increased effect against Botrytis cinerea caused by tomato.
