Immigration of Bacillus thuringiensis to bean leaves from soil inoculum or distal plant parts

Aims:  We addressed the process of immigration of Bacillus thuringiensis from soil to leaves and its capacity to grow on bean diffusate medium (BDM), a medium designed to simulate the nutrient composition of the phylloplane.
