This study shows that Bacillus cereus spores persist in the gut by evading immune responses and inducing amidases to dampen immunity, leading to bacterial growth and digestive symptoms.

This study shows Cry1A toxins from Btk disrupt cell adhesion in Drosophila, causing progenitor cells to differentiate into enteroendocrine cells instead of enterocytes.

This study shows that Bt var. kurstaki bioinsecticides cause developmental defects in Drosophila melanogaster larvae by inducing apoptosis in enterocytes, which can be mitigated by dietary interventions.

This study examines the side-effects of Bt biopesticide on non-target Drosophila larvae, finding that high doses cause developmental delays and reduced emergence, while recommended doses have no effect.
