Abstract

We report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus thuringiensis strain LM1212, which differentiates into crystal producers or spore formers during the stationary phase. Availability of this genome sequence will facilitate the study of spore formation, crystal formation, cell differentiation, and evolution of B. thuringiensis.
