Abstract: In this paper a Bacillus thuringiensis strain was isolated from the soil sample of Diaoling Mountain in Yunnan province. The cry gene-types of Bt isolate was identified by use of PCR-RFLP and SDS-PAGE methods. This strain which had a cry-type includes cry1Aa, cry1Ac, cry1Db, cry2Ab, cry1Ia produced Bipyramidal shape crystal, the protein composed of the crystal were 130, 70 and 56 kDa, and exhibited insecticidal activity against Laphygma exigua (first-instar), LC50 was 1.43 ng/mg. It can be used in composing the bacteria of gene engineering.

Key words: Bacillus thuringiensis, Isolation, Insecticidal gene, Identification
