Detection and decay of the Bt endotoxin in soil from a field trial with genetically modified maize (2003, background): “Glare & O’Callaghan (2000) observed that many of the effects on microorganisms were short term and concluded that it was unlikely that there would be any lasting effects on soil microbial processes.”
Impacts of Bt crops on non-target invertebrates and insecticide use patterns (2009, background): “been known for over a century and commercial products based on this organism have been available for 70 years, occupying >90% of the bio-pesticide market [2].”
Transgenic crops expressing Bacillus thuringiensis toxins and biological control (2006, background): “NATURE BIOTECHNOLOGY VOLUME 24 NUMBER 1 JANUARY 2006 71 72. Wu, K., Li, W., Feng, H. & Guo, Y.

The release of genetically modified crops into the environment. Part II. Overview of ecological risk assessment. (2003, background): “Lepidopteran-active Cry proteins from Bacillus thuringienesis (Bt) lack direct toxicity to predators and parasites (Glare and O‘Callaghan, 2000).”
Overview of the Basic Biology of Bacillus thuringiensis with Emphasis on Genetic Engineering of Bacterial Larvicides for Mosquito Control (2013, methodology): “2) was cultured by Howard Dulmage of the USDA and shown to have broad spectrum of activity against lepidopterous pests, while being safe for most non-target invertebrates including bees and beneficial predatory and parasitic insects, as well as for humans and other vertebrates [6, 7].”
Another View on Bt Proteins - How Specific are They and What Else Might They Do? (2006, background): “Glare and O’Callaghan (2000) list more than 300 species of Lepidoptera and other invertebrates to which Btk was toxic.”
Bacillus thuringiensis Toxins: An Overview of Their Biocidal Activity (2014, background): “Beta exotoxin production is more prevalent in some serovars than others [102] and the absence of β-exotoxins is a requirement for Bt formulations in Europe, the US and Canada [103].”
Expression of Cry5B protein from Bacillus thuringiensis in plant roots confers resistance to root-knot nematode (2008, background): “Bt spore-crystal lysates and the active ingredient of the lysates, namely Cry proteins, have been used as biological control agents against insect pests with great success for decades (Glare and O’Callaghan, 2000; Whalon and Wingerd, 2003).”
