I spent some time reading BT patents yesterday, but spent more time reading patents for milky spore, bacillus popillae - back in the 70's someone figured out that if you grow it on a certain medium - in that case, stuff left over from making sugar - it formed a lot of spores. I think what happens is that the bacillus ferments in the medium and then when it exhausts the nutrients it forms spores. They do mix the spores with various things to make it easy to grind - lactose, for example. The problem with patents is that they are so broad. At any rate I am very sure that there is a lot of information in microbiology magazines and textbooks that is not on the internet but is in libraries. By what I have seen in google caches I can tell that some stuff used to be on the Net but has been removed.
