Sporeless mutants of Bacillus thuringiensis. II. mutants derived from var. thuringiensis and var. sotto.
Three sporeless mutants of Bacillus thuringiensis, 2 derived from var. thuringiensis and 1 from var. sotto were selected after mutagenic treatment. They were completely lacking in ability to form spores, yet maintained intact insecticidal activity.
