CRC Critical Reviews in BioTechnology v. 6, no. 2, p. 163-232609888Summary: A review is given of the biotechnology of the entomopathogenic bacterium B. thuringiensis. Among the topics discussed are: taxonomy; physiology; pathogenicity to insects (particularly Diptera and Lepidoptera);biochemistry of the entomocidal crystalline toxin; molecular biology and gene regulation; genetics;cloning of the insecticidal toxins;DNA sequences of protoxin genes; bacterial insecticide products formulated against Diptera and Lepidoptera; future applications (of natural gene transfer systems, recombinant DNA and molecular cloning);and regulatory considerations (particularly with regard to legal requirements existing in the USA).
