| Abstract: | Bacillus thuringiensis is a ubiquitous Gram-positive and sporulatingbacterium. Its crystals and secreted toxins are useful tools against larvae ofdiverse insect orders and, as a consequence, an alternative to recalcitrant chemicalinsecticides. We report here the draft genome sequence ofB. thuringiensis147, a strain isolated from Brazil and with high insecticidal activity. Theassembled genome contained 6,167,994 bp and was distributed in seven replicons (achromosome and 6 plasmids). We identified 12 coding regions, located in two plasmids,which encode insecticidal proteins. |
