Abstract
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a gram-positive, spore
forming, rod shape soil bacterium. Various strains of B.
thuringiensis produce different insecticidal crystal proteins
which are encoded by cry genes.
The present investigation was carried out with the aim of
isolation and characterization of native B. thuringiensis
isolates from Anand district of Middle Gujarat with respect to
identify the cry genes and bioassay of the most potent isolate.
