Yes, like Kevin, I have only seen the organism for
sale. You spray in on crops typically attacked by caterpillars,
the caterpillars eat the bacteria, the organism grows producing a toxin,
the caterpillar stops eating within 24 hours and dies, leaving behind a corpse
well laden with more of the Bt bacteria to continue the cycle.
That's one of the really weird things about Bt corn, that it's a whole field
full of plants producing Bt toxin, instead of a few caterpillars scattered here
and there. No one knows what all that Bt toxin can do.
