BT Toxin, Bacillus thuringensis, is a bacterium commonly used as a biological pesticide. It produces toxic chemicals and can be harmful to mammalian blood by damaging red blood cells and more.
toxin is inactive: In bacteria, the toxin is present in an inactive form, called prototoxin, which gets converted into active form when it enters the body of an insect
BT-plant means plant having BT-gene like BT-cotton. These are transgenic plants developed by genetic engineering.

Some proteins can indeed be toxic. However, note that it is rare for a protein to be toxic.Yes pathogens produce and secrete toxic proteins to invade their host. Bacterial toxin such as hemolysin A, neurotoxin, botulinum toxin, tetanus toxin, Shiga toxin are all proteins. They are strongly antigenic can elicit immune response.
Botulin toxin can be destroyed by heat, such as boiling water. Use of a pressure cooker or autoclave can also effectively destroy the toxin. It is important to ensure proper sterilization techniques are used to eliminate the risk of toxin exposure.
Bowel Tones or botulinum toxin.

The blocking of GABA release will cause convulsions, where as the blocking of acetylcholine will cause paralysis.
The corn produces a toxin which poisons the corn borer after it consumes some of the corn.
The gene inserted into Bt corn is from a bacterium called Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) which produces a protein toxic to insect pests. This gene helps the plant generate a toxin that targets specific insects such as corn borers.
Many scientists aren't concerned about the use of Bt toxins. Consumers, some scientists, some medical care professionals, and others are usually the ones who are concerned about Bt crops used to feed animals and humans. To understand why, you need to understand that Bt crops are genetically modified to produce the toxin that kills insects in every cell of the plant itself. Essentially, the plant itself becomes an insecticide. Though it is claimed that science shows those plants have no effect on animals or humans, many believe that real life anecdotal evidence shows eating Bt foods may have unintended harmful effects on the intestinal flora and digestive system. Those who believe that also believe that research needs to be conducted to find out if Bt is causing harm to health, and many try to avoid eating GMO foods.
It is a biomicrobial toxin.
No, it is not a toxin.
BT cotton is geneticly modified to contain a natural toxin created by a bacteria whos initials are BT. the bacteria as well as its toxin have long been used in organic farming as it is only activated in a highly basic (as in not acidic) envirument which is rather rare in nature execpt for the digestive system of several butterflies one of which is a major pest in cotton crops (i think its called pink worm something but its been a while). anyway the use of such plants mean many chemical treatments will be made redundunt which is good for the consumer as well as the envirument and the farmer. it has also been proven that although there is the ability to develop resistence to the toxin (in the lab) the living cost of of this resistence prevents its build up in nature. that along with the law that stats one has to grow at least 20% of the area with non BT plants aliminates the risk of its efectivness being damaged over time as happens to so many pesticides
