Abstract excerpt
AIMS: To evaluate the autolytic phenotype of Bacillus thuringiensis. METHODS AND RESULTS: The autolytic rate of 87 strains belonging to different subsp. of B. thuringiensis was examined at pH 6, 6.5 and 8.5 in different buffers under starvation conditions. At pH 6 the extent of autolysis (average in the strain collection 38.3 +/- 21.1) was strain-dependent with wide variability, while at pH 6.5 and 8.5 (averages...
