Detection and decay of the Bt endotoxin in soil from a field trial with genetically modified maize (2003, background): “They showed that the persistence of the purified toxin in soil was due to the molecules’ being sorbed to colloid surfaces where it is protected from biodegradation (Koskella & Stotzky, 1997; Crecchio & Stotzky, 1998, 2001).”
Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) toxin released from root exudates and biomass of Bt corn has no apparent effect on earthworms, nematodes, protozoa, bacteria, and fungi in soil (2001, background): “…toxin con®rmed that the released toxin bound on surface-active particles in soil, which protected the toxin from biodegradation, as has been observed with puri®ed toxin (Tapp et al., 1994; Tapp and Stotzky, 1995a,b, 1998; Koskella and Stotzky, 1997; Crecchio and Stotzky, 1998, 2001; Stotzky, 2000).”
Transgenic Bt cotton has no apparent effect on enzymatic activities or functional diversity of microbial communities in rhizosphere soil (2006, unknown): “Soils can, thus, maintain larvicidal activity for a long time following growth of a transgenic crop (Tapp and Stotzky 1998; Saxena and Stotzky 2000; Crecchio and Stotzky 2001; Saxena et al. 2002).”
Persistence and biological activity in soil of the insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis, especially from transgenic plants (2005, background): “, 2003), as well as the adsorption and binding of the toxin from Btk on humic acids from different soils (Crecchio and Stotzky, 1998) and on complexes of clay-humic acidsAl hydroxypolymers (Crecchio and Stotzky, 2001).”
