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.enAgricultural MicrobiologyStudyISOLATION, IDENTIFICATION AND BIOEFFICACY OF NATIVE ENTOMOPATHOGENIC Bacillus thuringiensis FROM SOILThesis
