Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins: Functional Characterization and Mechanism of Action

Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins: Functional Characterization and Mechanism of Action

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)-based products are the most successful microbial insecticides to date. This entomopathogenic bacterium produces different kinds of proteins whose specific toxicity has been shown against a wide range of insect orders, nematodes, mites, protozoa, and human cancer cells. So...
