title: Bacillus larval toxin crystal protein.
abstract: During sporulation some bacteria produce parasporal inclusions which are toxic for insect larvae. The proteins responsible for this toxicity have been characterized and their genes have been cloned. Using genetic engineering methods, it is now possible to establish new bacterial strains and to introduce these genes into plant genomes.
