Bacillus Thuringiensis Research Articles

Bacillus thuringiensis  is an aerobic, spore-forming, Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium widely distributed in the natural environment from the Arctic to the tropics. The bacteria's entomopathogenic and insecticidal action was first noted by Ishiwata in Japan in 1901. In 1915, another strain was found in Thuringia, Germany, by Berliner, who found it called B. thuringiensis. The first microbial insecticide based on Bt was marketed in France in 1938; Bt was registered in the United States in 1961. Extensive overviews of the history, biology, early and current use and toxicology of this most important antimicrobial agent are available. This section will address the problems associated with the conventional use of this bacterial insecticide and genetically modified crops expressing BT insecticidal toxins will only be mentioned when approriate.
