Abstract
The article analyzes and summarizes the literary and own results of studies of the properties of Brevibacillus laterosporus (Bl) as an agent of biocontrol of insects, microorganisms, and other invertebrates. The review provides data on the morphology and characteristics of the biological properties of Bl. New crystal-bearing strains were reported. The structural features of spores and Bl crystals identified by electron microscopy are discussed. Data on crystal formation in different bacilli are analyzed. Bl crystals have mosquitocidal activity. Data on the antimicrobial properties of Bl, including the activity of Bl against drug-resistant bacteria, are presented. The antimicrobial, fungicidal, and cyanolytic activities of Bl strains make it possible to use them as producers of insecticides, antibiotics, and bacteriocins and as environmentally friendly bacterial agents of biocontrol.
