The parasporal crystals of Bacillus pumilus strain 15.1: a potential virulence factor? [PDF]
Bacillus pumilus strain 15.1 was previously found to cause larval mortality in the Med-fly 27 Ceratitis capitata and was shown to produce crystals in association with the spore.

Hematotoxicity of bacillus thuringiensis as spore-crystal strains cry1aa, cry1ab, cry1ac or cry2aa in swiss albino mice [PDF]
Formulated and sporulated cultures of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have been widely used against insect pests, but after the advent of genetically modified plants expressing δ-endotoxins, the bioavailability of Cry proteins has been increased.

Enzymatic activity of Bacillus thuringiensis toxins
When sporulating, Bacillus thuringiensis produces paracrystalline inclusions containing one or more proteins which are mainly responsible for the entomopathogenic properties of this bacterium. Such proteins mostly belong to the Cry family which, after spore lysis and solubilization of the crystals, are delivered to specific zones of the gut. Then, they
