Özet

Sixty Bacillus spp. isolates were obtained from different agricultural fields in Kayseri province using selective media. Total DNA was isolated and analyzed by PCR using cry1 general primers. Of the 60 tested isolates, 17 carried the cry) gene. B. thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki and all other isolates exhibited approximately 19-kb plasmid bands.
