Abstract
Bacillus thuringiensis is a sporulating bacterium, which produces parasporal inclusions toxic to insects. Widely used methodologies to isolate Bt from soil consist of a thermal shock treatment followed by selective germination of spores. The results presented here suggest that a preliminary 5 h dry-heat treatment largely enhance the selectivity of these procedures.Entities:
