Bacillus thuringiensis PM25 ameliorates oxidative damage of salinity stress in maize via regulating growth, leaf pigments, antioxidant defense system, and stress responsive gene expression

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Soil salinity is the major abiotic stress that disrupts nutrient uptake, hinders plant growth, and threatens agricultural production. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are the most promising eco-friendly beneficial microorganisms that can be ...

Identification and Functional Characterization of Two Homologous SpoVS Proteins Involved in Sporulation of Bacillus thuringiensis

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
Sporulation is an important part of the life cycle of Bacillus thuringiensis and the basis for the production of parasporal crystals. This study identifies and characterizes two homologous spoVS genes (spoVS1 and spoVS2) in B.

A structure-based nomenclature for Bacillus thuringiensis and other bacteria-derived pesticidal proteins.

Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, 2020
In 1998 a nomenclature for the growing list of pesticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) was derived based solely on protein sequence comparisons.
