Abstract
AbstractThis review article starts with the discovery ofBacillus thuringiensisBerliner in Japan at the turn of the century and notes that the observations of the early Japanese workers clearly show that they were aware of the toxin-mediated nature of the activity ofB.thuringiensistoward insect larvae. The early work in Europe withB.thuringiensisagainstOstrinia nubilalis(Hubner) showed that the bacterium had promise as a microbial control agent. The commercial development ofB.thuringiensisin France in the late 1930s, and in Eastern Europe and the United States in the 1950s, is traced.
