Species code:	BACAH
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Firmicutes; Bacillales; Bacillaceae; Bacillus; Bacillus cereus group (TaxID: 412694) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Bacillus thuringiensis is a Gram-positive, spore-forming bacterium that belongs to the B.cereus group along with Bacillus anthracis and Bacillus cereus. Bacillus thuringiensis is an insect pathogen that is widely used as a biopesticide in commercial agriculture. Bacillus thuringiensis (strain Al Hakam) was collected at a suspected bioweapons facility in Iraq by the United Nations Special Commission. This genome does not contain homologs of the known cry, cyt or vip genes.
