Abstract
A local isolate of Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t. 81) contained five dis tinct plasmids Relative amounts of these plasmids varied at different stages of growth.Two Cry- mutants of the strain maintained all plasmid s. The mutants, however, exhibited some variations in the patterns of large plasmids depending on the composition of culture medium even tho ugh they failed to produce crystal protein. Restriction analysis of th e plasmids was also carried out for future cloning studies.
