| Development of a lawn assay for Bt toxins using midgut brush border membrane vesicles. |
| The midgut forms a simple loop with a descending and ascending limb closely bound together by mesenteric attachment. |
| Several pairs of cecal glands arise in the hepatopancreas and enter the midgut. |
| During its life cycle, Y. pestis colonizes the flea midgut and can form a biofilm in the proventricular valve in the foregut. |
| The midgut eventually develops into distal duodenum, jejunum, ileum, caecum, appendix, ascending colon, and proximal two thirds of the transverse colon. |
| Following binding, cation-specific pores are formed that disrupt midgut ion flow and thereby cause paralysis and death. |
