Abstract Bacillus thuringiensis isolated from a range
of geographic sites and from various substrates in New Zealand were serotyped
to determine whether or not novel serovars were present in this country.
Eighty-four isolates of B. thuringiensis were classified according to
their serovar status. Seventy-nine isolates were classified into 15 known
serovars. Five isolates could not be typed. No new serovars were discovered.
