During the submerged cultivation of Bacillus thuringiensis var. thuringiensis in 300- and 3000-liter fermentors, lysis occurred at the end of the exponential phase of growth. New vegetative cells were subsequently formed which usually sporulated. At time of lysis, the amount of soluble sugar was 1-12 g/liter, pH value dropped to 5.3-5.8 from the original PH 6.8 and started to rise after all the cells had lysed. The proteolytic activity was low during the lysis and increased as the sporulation commenced.

Despite the beneficial effects of Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) on agriculture, understanding the consequences of introducing foreign microbes into soil taxonomic and functional diversity is necessary. This study evaluated the effects co-inoculation of soybean with Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) RZ2MS9 and commercial rhizobia on the natural microbial community structure and functional potential. Our results indicated that soybean development was positively influenced by co-inoculation, plants exhibited greater height and a higher number of pods, and no reductions in productivity estimates.

Multifunctional plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have garnered significant attention in agricultural applications; however, a few have applied them in crop rotation or intercropping fields. To identify PGPR with strong colonization ability and broad spectrum benefit, we screened strains from the local tobacco rhizosphere and evaluated their growth-promoting effects across various crops and farming systems. In this study, strain L8, identified as , was selected as a multifunctional PGPR capable of producing indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), solubilizing potassium, and mobilizing both organic and inorganic phosphorus.

Objective: To investigate the physiological characteristics of subspecies (Bti) with double mutations of and genes and to assess the activity of Bti against larvae of under different external factors, so as to provide the theoretical evidence for the use of engineered bacteria of Bti for effective mosquito control.
Methods: wild-type strain Bt-59 and Bt-59 strain with mutation [Bt-59 (Δ)] were cultured in nutrient broth media for 24 hours, and Bt-59 strains with mutation [Bt-59 (Δ)] and double mutations of and [Bt-59 (Δ)] were cultured in nutrient broth media for 48 hours. Then, 5 μL of culture media were transferred to glass sides, and cell morphology and mother cell lysis were observed under an optical microscope.
The qualified presumption of safety (QPS) process was developed to provide a safety assessment approach for microorganisms intended for use in food or feed chains. In the period covered by this Statement, no new information was found that would change the status of previously recommended QPS taxonomic units (TUs). The TUs in the QPS list were updated based on a verification, against their respective authoritative databases, of the correctness of the names and completeness of synonyms.
