Abstract A new strain of Bacillus thuringiensis 2-7 was found to belong to the serotype H8. Cells of this strain contained irregular and flat crystalline inclusions and two large plasmids. The gene responsible for crystal formation is most likely located on the large plasmid greater than 105 MDa in size. Comparison of the cry gene of B. thuringiensis 2-7 and the cryIIIA gene of B. thuringiensis subsp. tenebrionis showed that their nucleotide sequences are identical.
