Recent progress on the interaction between insects and Bacillus thuringiensis crops
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2019 Extensive use of chemical pesticides poses a great threat to the environment and food safety. The discovery of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxins with effective insecticidal activity against pests and the development of transgenic technology of plants ...

Adaptation of Bacillus thuringiensis to Plant Colonization Affects Differentiation and Toxicity
mSystems, 2021 The Bacillus cereus group (Bacillus cereus sensu lato) has a diverse ecology, including various species that are vertebrate or invertebrate pathogens. Few isolates from the B. cereus group have however been demonstrated to benefit plant growth. Therefore,

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Bacillus thuringiensis is the most used biopesticide in agriculture. Its entomopathogenic capacity stems from the possession of plasmid-borne insecticidal crystal genes (cry), traditionally used as discriminant taxonomic feature for that species. As such,

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.
