Zusammenfassung: | The presence of native isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis was determined
by the analysis of 87 samples collected from different regions of
Cuba. The pasteurization was utilized for the selection of sporulating
colonies growed in nutrient medium. The colonies were selected
because of their aspect and morphology by stereoscopic observation.
It was observed the typical bacilar shape, position and morphology of
the endospore by light microscopy, characteristics of cereus group,
Bacillus genus. The bacterium was recognized basically due to the
presence of a paraesporal crystal. The B. thuringiensis index obtained
was determined by the relation between the numbers of B. thuringiensis
colonies found with respect to the total number of colonies examined
in the sample. 1-1,5 cm diameter colonies, plane, opaque, white-gray,
lightly scabby consistence, irregular border, vegetative cells the typical
bacilar shape and elipsoidal terminal endospores inside the vegetative
cell allowed the selection of 609 sporulating colonies. From these,
341 colonies were classified as B. thuringiensis based on the
production of parasporal crystal. B. thuringiensis isolates showed three
crystal morphologies: bipyramidal mainly, amorphous, two isolates
produced small parasporal bodies which appeared as a «cap» on the
spore. The B. thuringiensis index varied from 0.37 to 0.74 and the B.
thuringiensis index total was 0.56. La presencia de aislados nativos de Bacillus thuringiensis se determinó
mediante el análisis de 87 muestras colectadas de las diferentes
regiones de Cuba. El proceso de pasteurización se utilizó para la
selección de colonias esporuladas crecidas en medio nutriente. Las
colonias se seleccionaron por su aspecto y morfología mediante
observación al microscopio estereoscópico. Se observó la típica
forma bacilar, posición y morfología de la endospora por microscopía
óptica, características del grupo cereus del género Bacillus. La especie
B. thuringiensis se reconoció básicamente debido a la presencia
del cristal paraesporal. El índice B. thuringiensis obtenido se determinó
por la relación entre el número de colonias de B. thuringiensis
seleccionadas y el número total de colonias examinadas en la muestra.
Colonias de 1-1,5 cm de diámetro, planas, opacas, de color blanco-
grisáceo, de consistencia ligeramente costrosa, bordes irregulares,
células vegetativas en forma de bacilos y esporas elipsoidales
en posición terminal dentro de la célula vegetativa permitieron la
