Hello,
I have just had a very interesting lecture about the use of Bt toxin in
the control of insect pests.
A question springs to mind. What is a bacterium like B. thuringiensis
doing producing an insect specific toxin? How is this an advantage?
Any other bits of intersting info on Bt toxin would be great .
Thanks,
