Abstrakt: Bacillus thuringiensis produces crystal proteins which are toxic to several orders of economically important insects and other invertebrates. The genes encoding these toxins reside mainly on plasmids. This report consists of a comparative analysis of the plasmid content of a number of B. thuringiensis strains and isolates which may facilitate the search for novel toxin genes and other important products of this organism.
