Bacillus cereus sensu lato, the species group comprising Bacillus anthracis, Bacillus
thuringiensis and B. cereus (sensu stricto), has previously been scrutinized regarding …

The effect of heat treatment at different temperatures on two types of inocula, activated
sludge and anaerobically digested sludge, was investigated in batch cultures. Heat …

Aim: To evaluate the genetic and molecular diversity and insecticidal activity of Bacillus
thuringiensis isolates from all the natural regions of Colombia. Methods and Results: A total …

An experimental mixture design coupled with data analysis by means of both response
surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) followed by multiple …

The ability of several Bacillus thuringiensis strains to colonize plant surfaces was assessed
and compared with that of more common epiphytic bacteria. While all B. thuringiensis strains …

Aims: To evaluate the distribution of Bacillus thuringiensis strains from maize and bean
phylloplane and their respective soils. Methods and Results: B. thuringiensis was isolated …

Aims: We addressed the process of immigration of Bacillus thuringiensis from soil to leaves
and its capacity to grow on bean diffusate medium (BDM), a medium designed to simulate …

Gram-positive rods Bacillus cereus sensu lato (sl) are common in natural habitats and food
products. It is believed that they are restricted to spores; however, their ecology in aquatic …

Bacillus thuringiensis A1470 produces multiple proteins with similar molecular masses (~ 30
kDa) with cytotoxicity against human cell lines. One that was previously identified …

Biosurfactants possess diverse chemical properties and provide important characteristics to
the producing microorganisms, which can act as surface-actives and emulsifiers of …
