Abstract
Bacillus thuringiensis strains were found to be naturally present in t he soils of southern Sweden, being isolated from nine out of 12 sites examined. Forest soil samples were more rich in B. thuringiensis strai ns than soil samples collected from cultivated areas. A wide diversity of B. thuringiensis strains, representing different biochemical group s, was isolated; samples from Aspo and Fogdo regions showed the highes t degree of diversity.
