Most potential organism for the production of insecticide is

Options

(a) Xanthomonas oryzae
(b) Bacillus thuringiensis
(c) Eramis tiliaria
(d) Helianthis zea

Correct Answer:

Bacillus thuringiensis

Explanation:

Bacillus thuringiensis produces delta-endotoxin and it kills insects effectively. It is a type of biological pesticide and is an important one, since among the global biological pesticide sales, 90% of the market share is accounted by Bacillus thuringiensis products. Along with the natural, safe and organic agriculture trend, it is estimated that Bacillus thuringiensis will play a more and more important role. The delta-endoxin produced by Bacillus thuringiensis is a target pesticide. It has no side effects to other living creatures besides target insects. Moreover, it is completely non-toxic to spiral animals; especially the hydrochloric acid in gastric juice of a mammal can destroy its toxin. Its spore does not germinate in the lung and will not cause disease. The reaction when people inhale heavy amount to Bacillus thuringiensis is just as same as the reaction when people inhale heavy non-toxic particles
