Bacillus thuringiensis: The Group of Bacteria. Bacillus thuringiensis comprises a group of aerobic, Gram-positive, spore-forming bacteria closely related to Bacillus cereus (1, 2). As a group, B. thuringiensis contains 58 recognized flagellar serotypes and several aflagellar

Environmental and health impacts of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis page 6 2. Introduction Mosquito vectors of serious mammalian diseases could arrive in New Zealand at any time. The need for safe agents for their eradication and/or control is imperative. Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis is a subspecies of the common insecticidal bacterium; it

Bacillus thuringiensis is widely used in agriculture for the control of insect pests. The bacterium produces an endotoxin which is found in a crystalline inclusion. In addition to the toxic factor, other proteins are involved in invasion of the host and blocking the host’s immune defenses.

The insecticidal bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Berliner, consists of approximately 60 subspecies, many that occur commonly in habitats such as soil, leaf litter, plants, insect feces, and the midguts (stomachs) of many insect species.
