TABLE 1.

Metabolic profiles and biochemical characteristics of B. thuringiensis strain GBJ002 and derivative lysogens GBJ002/GIL01 and GBJ002/GIL16 determined using API 50 CH and API 20 E systems^a

^aAPI 50 CH and API 20 E strip systems (bioMérieux) were used. Key to symbols: +, positive test result; −, negative test result; ±, slow activity (after 48 h). Differences between the reference strain and its two isogenic lysogenic derivatives are highlighted in gray. Tests 62 to 70 are for fermentation of the indicated sugar.
