| Abstract: | The soil-borne bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is an important biological agent used against human and plant pests and diseases. Seven Jordanian Bt isolates, which have been analysed for toxicity against important pests, were also differentiated through serotyping. In this study, they were analysed at the molecular level using random amplified polymorphic DNA markers. Five more international strains were incorporated in the analysis. The DNA markers used showed high polymorphism among the isolates tested. However, the data did not align completely with earlier serotyping for most isolates. Therefore, it is recommended to engage several analyses (e.g. biochemical and molecular) when classifying newly surveyed Bt isolates in the world. |
