Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) provides one of the most prominent biologically based pesticides. Bt affords a high degree of safety to the environment, non-target organisms and humans in combination with its effectiveness in controlling numerous insect pests. These features fill a pressing need to ...
Bacterial proteins Parasporin Antitumor activity In vivo analysis 1. Introduction Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a Gram-positive sporulating bacterium that is widely distributed in nature around the world. It was isolated for the first time in 1901, in Japan by Ishiwata, from larvae of Bombyx mor...
Bacillus thuringiensis is a bacterium of great agronomic and scientific interest. The subspecies of this bacterium colonize and kill a large variety of host insects and even nematodes, but each strain does so with very a high degree of specificity. The most significant advancement in the use of ...
Bacillus thuringiensis serotype H34 isolated from human and insecticidal strains serotypes 3a3b and H14 can lead to death of immunocompetent mice ... In 1995, we isolated a strain of Bacillus thuringiensis serotype H34 from severe human tissue necrosis. This bacterium was able to induce myonecros...
thuringiensis strains has not resulted in appreciable toxicity, pathogenicity, or infectivity (U.S. EPA, 1998). In one early study, ingestion by humans of 3 × 109 B. thuringiensis spores/day (the subspecies was not identified) for 5 days, or by rats of 2 × 1012 spores/kg produced ...

Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus thuringiensis—One Species on the Basis of Genetic Evidence The genome sequence of Bacillus anthracis Ames and comparison to closely related bacteria. Genome sequence of Bacillus cereus and comparative analysis with Bacillus anthracis ...
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a unique bacterium in that it shares a common place with a number of chemical compounds which are used commercially to control insects important to agriculture and public health. Although other bacteria, including B. popilliae and B. sphaericus, are used as microbia...
The use of Bacillus thuringiensis as a biopesticide is a viable alternative for insect control since the insecticidal Cry proteins produced by these bacteria are highly specific; harmless to humans, vertebrates, and plants; and completely biodegradable. In addition to Cry proteins, B. thuringiensis pr...
U-96 and to serine in Corynebacterium sp. P-19,10. The Bacillus cereus group of gram-positive, spore-forming bacteria, includes Bacillus cereus, the causative agent of food poisoning in humans; Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a pathogenic agent in insects; and Bacillus anthracis, the etiological ...
