Question
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strains have been uewd for designing novel
Options
A.biometallurgical techniques
B.biomineralization orocesses
C.bioinsecticidal plants
D.biofertilizers
Solution
Bioinsecticides are those biological agents Which are used to control harmful insects. A bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis is uesd for this purpose. Spores of this bacterium produce the insecticidal cry-protein. Therefore, spores, of this bacterium kill larvae of certain insects.
