Comparative Genomic and Phylogenomic Analyses Clarify Relationships Within and Between Bacillus cereus and Bacillus thuringiensis: Proposal for the Recognition of Two Bacillus thuringiensis Genomovars

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The present study was designed to clarify the taxonomic status of two species classified as Bacillus cereus sensu lato, namely B. cereus sensu stricto and Bacillus thuringiensis. To this end, nearly 900 whole genome sequences of strains assigned to these

STUDIES ON THE EFFECTS OF Bacillus thuringiensis AND NUCLEAR POLYHEDROSIS VIRUS (NPV) FOR CONTROLLING THE COTTON LEAFWORM Spodoptera littoralis ( NOCTUIDAE : LEPIDOPTERA ) [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection and Pathology, 2007
Effects of Bacillus thuringiensis and nuclear Polyhedrosis virus (NPV) mixture on certain biological aspects of Spodoptera littoralis were evaluated. Both of  2nd and 4th larval instars of Spodoptera littoralis were used for that purpose. The mixture of

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.

Development of an Online Genome Sequence Comparison Resource for Bacillus cereus sensu lato Strains Using the Efficient Composition Vector Method

Toxins, 2023
An automated method was developed for differentiating closely related B. cereus sensu lato (s.l.) species, especially biopesticide Bacillus thuringiensis, from other human pathogens, B. anthracis and B. cereus sensu stricto (s.s.).

The pore-forming protein Cry5B elicits the pathogenicity of Bacillus sp. against Caenorhabditis elegans. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
The soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis is a pathogen of insects and nematodes and is very closely related to, if not the same species as, Bacillus cereus and Bacillus anthracis. The defining characteristic of B. thuringiensis that sets it apart from B.
