John, what is this MS bacillus of which you speak? I am
only familiar with bacillus thuringiensis as an
insecticide.
not John, but Milky Spore is Bacillus popillae. Bacillus
thuringiesis is one of a large family where different types
work better on certain insects. Bt kills caterpillers
(unfortunately it's not selective which caterpillers). Bti (Bt
israeliensis) kills mosquito larvae.
