Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)
Bacillus thuringiensis is a bacterium that parasitizes the caterpillars of some harmful moths and butterflies.

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt). A bacterium that kills insects; a major component of the microbial pesticide industry.
Bacteriocide. A class of antibiotics that kills bacterial cells.
Bacillus thuringiensis. A bacterium that causes disease in many insects, especially caterpillars; formulations of the bacteria are used as insecticides.
Bacillus
a bacterial cell that is rod-shaped (i.e. longer than it is wide).
Bacillus thuringiensis: This bacteria is pathogenic to insects and the gene for its toxin is used to create transgenic plants with their own insecticide.
Bacteriophage: A virus that infects a bacterium.

Bacillus thuringiensis
- A naturally occurring bacterium with pesticidal properties. Bacillus thuringiensis produces a protein (Bt toxin) that is toxic only to certain insect larvae that consume it.
bacillus A rod-shaped bacterium.
bacteria Prokaryotic and unicellular microorganisms included in the kingdom Monera.

After Casimir Davaine showed the direct transmission of the anthrax bacillus between cows, Koch studied anthrax more closely. He invented methods to purify the bacillus from blood samples and grow pure cultures.
Certain disease causing bacteria (such as Bacillus anthracis, the cause of the disease anthrax) can be virulent (capable of causing an infection) for up to 1300 years after forming their endospore! ...
Bt: The bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis.
Caterpillar: The immature stage (larva) of a butterfly, moth, or sawfly.
Chemical control: Pest management practices which rely upon the application of synthetic or naturally-derived pesticides.
Cry1A: A protein derived from the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis that is toxic to some insects when ingested.
Bt-toxin is an insecticide naturally produced by the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. This toxin is toxic only to insects because it must bind to receptors in their gut to function.
Endospore
A metabolically inactive, nonreplicating form of certain bacteria, including the genera Bacillus and Clostridium. Endospores tend to be highly resistant to physical and chemical damage.
