Whether a public genome assembly is linked for this strain. Without one the genome screens cannot run. It is not a verdict on the organism.

Bacillus thuringiensis is a gram-positive, spore-forming soil bacterium best known as a bioinsecticide widely used in agriculture and forestry; it is not classified as a probiotic organism. The species produces crystal proteins (Cry toxins) that are selectively toxic to certain insects and have been used in genetically modified crops, but it is closely related to Bacillus cereus and shares some virulence-associated genomic features. No strain-specific probiotic or gut-health evidence was identified for this entry, and B. thuringiensis is not recognized as a beneficial microorganism for human supplementation contexts.
