Complete genome sequences of two Bacillus thuringiensis serovar kurstaki strains isolated from Lebanon and Tunisia, highly toxic against lepidopteran larvae.

ABSTRACT: Bacillus thuringiensis-based products are key in the biopesticides market. Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki strains Lip and BLB1 were isolated from Lebanese and Tunisian soils, respectively. These strains are highly toxic against lepidopteran larvae, Ephestia kuehniella. Here, we report Lip and BLB1 complete genomes, including their plasmid and toxin contents.
