1. | B. thuringiensis forms protein crystals during a particular phase of its growth. |
2. | The protein crystals contain a toxic insecticidal protein. |
3. |
Once an insect ingests the inactive toxin, it is converted into an active form of toxin due to the acidic pH of the gut.
|
4. | The activated toxin binds to the surface of midgut epithelial cells and creates pores that cause cell swelling and lysis and eventually cause the death of the insect. |
