Optimization of Culture Conditions and Wheat Bran Class Selection in the Production of <i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i>-Based Biopesticides

<i>Bacillus thuringiensis</i> is the leading microbial-based biopesticide, thanks to its parasporal crystal proteins or δ-endotoxins, which are toxic to insect larvae upon ingestion. Once in the insect larvae midgut, the crystal is solubilized by the alkaline pH and the δ-endotoxins acti...
