Alternative strain names are given in parentheses.
Phages have been partially characterized by Jalasvuori et al. (28).
Strains were reported to be positive for GIL01-related elements by dot blotting or PCR (22).
Phage pBth35646 has been already designated by Sozhamannan et al. (24).

NA, no information available.
This strain has been classified as B. cereus, even though it presents activity against mosquito larvae and hybridizes with the cry1a crystal toxin gene from B. thuringiensis (62).
This strain has been classified as B. cereus, but it produces typical B. thuringiensis crystal protein inclusions (data not shown).
