Bacillus thuringiensis forms protein crystals which contain insecticidal protein. This protein:

1. does not kill the carrier bacterium which is itself resistant to this toxin
2. binds with epithelial cells of the midgut of the insect pest ultimately killing it
3. is coded by several genes including the gene cry.
4. is activated by acid pH of the foregut of the insect pest.
