J Bacteriol. 2012 Dec;194(24):6975. doi: 10.1128/JB.01861-12.

Abstract

Bacillus thuringiensis is an important microbial insecticide used in the control of agricultural pests. Here we report the finished, annotated genome sequence of Bacillus thuringiensis serovar Sichuansis strain MC28, which can form parasporal crystals consisting of Cry4Cc1, Cry30Fa1, Cry53Ab1, Cry54Aa1, Cry54Ab1, Cry68Aa1, Cry69Aa1, Cry69Aa2, Cry70Ba1, Cyt1Da1, and Cyt2Aa3. It is also highly toxic to lepidopterous and dipterous insects.
