Q. No.Why does the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis not affected by the toxins produced by it that can kill arthropods?
1.
The toxin inactivated by proteins in the bacterial cells.
2.
The bacterial cell does not have organelles and thus it is harmless.
3.
It is produced as a pro-toxin by the bacterium.
4.
The protein needs post-transcriptional modification possible only in eukaryotic cells.
