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

Bacillus thuringiensis and its pest control potential as endophyte. [PDF]

Pest Manag Sci
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) systemically colonizes tomato plants as endophyte, inducing midgut damage, fitness reduction and immune suppression in Spodoptera littoralis larvae feeding on Bt‐colonized leaves. The immune suppression enhances the susceptibility to Bt treatments, allowing a synergistic dual use of Bt commercial formulations, by combined ...

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.

Transduction in Bacillus thuringiensis [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1978
Bacteriophage CP-51, originally reported as a generalized transducing phage for Bacillus cereus and B. anthracis, has been shown to carry out generalized transduction in several strains of B. thuringiensis. A newly isolated phage, CP-54, which has a broader host range than CP-51, also mediates generalized transduction in B. thuringiensis.
