E)All of these choices are correct.

Accepted Answer

Bacillus thuringiensis is known for producing a biopesticide that is effective against a variety of insect pests. The toxin produced by B. thuringiensis is specific to certain insects and is often used as a natural alternative to chemical pesticides. While B. thuringiensis may have other applications, such as in the production of enzymes or single cell proteins, its primary use and most well-known product is its biopesticide. Food poisoning is not a result of B. thuringiensis.
