Most strains of B. thuringiensis produce delta-endotoxin crystals toxic to lepidopteran insects such as moth. Recently, however several researches have shown that B. thuringiensis is also widely distributed in natural soils of various area. that B. thuringiensis made up less than 0.5% of more than 46,000 bacterial isolates recovered from various soils in the United States. Out of the 50 Bacillus sp. isolates from the soil of South Kalimantan.
