Abstract
A new aflatoxin B1 resistant strain of Bacillus thuringiensis (Berliner), designated "variant stable," was isolated in the presence of a mycotoxin lethal dose. The enzymatic and physiological properties of this slow-growing clone are in all respects similar to those of the original strain (in particular its resistance to a variety of antibiotic, antimitotic, or carcinogenous agents). Besides their radically opposite behavior with respect to aflatoxin B1, the colonies of these two strains differ only by their size and aspect: marginal and surface organization.[Journal translation]
