The Bacillus cereus group includes several Bacillus species with closely related phylogeny.
The most well-studied members of the group, B. anthracis, B. cereus, and B. thuringiensis …

During the past decade the pesticidal bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis has been the subject
of intensive research. These efforts have yielded considerable data about the complex …

The replication region of the Bacillus thuringiensis plasmid, pHT1030, was treated with
hydroxylamine. Various copy-number mutants were selected and subsequently used to …

Bacteria grow in either planktonic form or as biofilms, which are attached to either inert or
biological surfaces. Both growth forms are highly relevant states in nature and of paramount …

PlcR is a pleiotropic regulator that activates the expression of genes encoding various
virulence factors, such as phospholipases C, proteases and hemolysins, in Bacillus …

Bacillus thuringiensis has been widely used for 40 years as a safe biopesticide for
controlling agricultural pests and mosquitoes because it produces insecticidal crystal …

Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus thuringiensis are closely related gram-
positive, spore-forming bacteria of the B. cereus sensu lato group. While independently …

Cry toxins produced by Bacillus thuringiensis have been recognized as pore-forming toxins
whose primary action is to lyse midgut epithelial cells in their target insect. In the case of the …

The key genes required for Bacillus anthracis to cause anthrax have been acquired recently
by horizontal gene transfer. To understand the genetic background for the evolution of B …

Selection of resistance in Spodoptera exigua (Hubner) to an HD-1 spore-crystal mixture,
CryIC (HD-133) inclusion bodies, and trypsinized toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis subsp …
