Irrespective use of chemical pesticides has led, over the last decades, to several problems
such as soil, water and food sources pollution, and generation of a selective pressure …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) has been used for control of lepidopteran, dipteran and
coleopteran insects for over three decades. Novel Bt strains harbouring new types of …

Starch industry wastewater (SWW), slaughterhouse wastewater (SHWW) and secondary
sludges from three different wastewater treatment plants (Jonquière—JQS, Communauté …

Aims: The present work aimed to obtain bioinsecticide over‐producing mutants through
classical mutagenesis of vegetative cells of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) by using uv and …

Production of indigenous isolate Bacillus thuringiensis sv2 (Bt sv2) was checked on
conventional and nonconventional carbon and nitrogen sources in shake flasks. The effects …

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is one of the most promising biological control agents used
commercially. Its products can contribute to reducing ecological and environmental …

Strains of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) are known to produce crystalline proteins (δ-endotoxins)
concomitantly with sporulation during their stationary phase of growth, which are …

Aims: Cloning and expression of a new cry1Ia‐type gene of Bacillus thuringiensis. Methods
and Results: PCR amplification, using gene cry1I‐specific primers revealed the presence of …

In order to reduce the cost of Bacillus thuringiensis bioinsecticide-process production, a new
medium only composed of starch, soya bean and diluted sea water, providing particularly …

The aim of the present work was to develop a model that supplies accurate predictions of the
yields of delta-endotoxins and proteases produced by B. thuringiensis var. kurstaki HD-1 …
