Abstract excerpt
In at least three Bacillus thuringiensis subspecies, multiple protoxin genes are confined to just a few of the many plasmids with two or more on one of > 100 mDa and a particular gene, cryIA(b), on a 40-50 mDa plasmid. The latter is unstable but can be maintained in the population by cell mating....
