Isolation Of Bacillus Thuringiensis From Soil Sample, Identified By 16s Rrna Analysis And Identify Its Larvicidal Activity On Jasmine Plant
Main Article Content
Abstract
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is having a most important role in the field of agriculture and genetic engineering because of its uniqueness in protein production. It supports to control various pest in plants such as green fly, white fly, beetles and few types of larvae by its toxic nature. It works well as insect and pest controller in the genetically modified crops. The Bt toxic genes were used in some crops for the pest control. In this work, we had to isolate the target bacterial strains from agricultural soil. The isolated bacterial strains were identified by macroscopic and microscopic observations. Later the isolated bacterial strains forwarded to 16s rRNA analysis for the bacterial confirmation. The isolated bacterial strain used to control pest in the jasmine plants and positive level of results were collected
