An avirulent pleiotropic mutant of the insect pathogen Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. gelechiae, isolated by Heierson et al. (A. Heierson, I. Sidén, A. Kivaisi, and H. G. Boman, J. Bacteriol. 167:18-24, 1986) as a spontaneous phage-resistant mutant, was further characterized and found to lack the...
