Abstract
B. thuringiensis Berliner1 is an aerobic sporeforming bacillus, classified by Smith, Gordon and Clark2 as Bacillus cereus var. thuringiensis, because apart from its pathogenicity for certain insects and the tendency of the spores to lie obliquely in the cell, the organism is indistinguishable from B. cereus.
