The most widely used bacterial biopesticides are Bacillus thuringiensis (also known as Bt), which comprises 90% of the Global Bacterial Biopesticides Market. Each strain of this bacterium produces a different mix of proteins, and specifically kills one or a few related species of the insect larvae. While some Bts control moth larvae found in plants, other Bts are specific for the larvae of flies and mosquitoes. The target insect species are determined by whether the particular Bt produces a protein that can bind to a larval gut receptor or not, thereby causing the insect larvae to starve. Other popular bacterial biopesticides are Bacillus subtilis and Pseudomonas fluorescens.
