Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) strains have been used for designing novel

• A. Bioinsecticidal plants
• B. Biomineralization processes
• C. Biofertilizers
• D. Biometallurgical techniques

Answer 1

The correct option is A Bioinsecticidal plants

Bacillus thuringiensis (or Bt) is a Gram-positive, soil-dwelling bacterium, that produces crystal proteins during sporulation. These proteins have insecticidal action and thus used as insecticides and more recently to genetically modified crops using Bt genes, such as Bt cotton.
Therefore, B. thuringiensis (Bt) strains have been used for designing novel Bioinsecticidal plants.
