After Casimir Davaine showed the direct transmission of the anthrax bacillus between cows, Koch studied anthrax more closely. He invented methods to purify the bacillus from blood samples and grow pure cultures.

Bt-toxin is an insecticide naturally produced by the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis. This toxin is toxic only to insects because it must bind to receptors in their gut to function.

bacilli: the rod-shaped bacteria (singular, bacillus).
bark: the structure of vascular plants formed between the phloem and the cork.
bases: compounds that attract hydrogen atoms when placed in water.

Endospore
A metabolically inactive, nonreplicating form of certain bacteria, including the genera Bacillus and Clostridium. Endospores tend to be highly resistant to physical and chemical damage.
