Background: Bacillus thurnigiensis is the most effective and playing important roles as dominant bacteria in biotechnological applications as well as industrial processes and products. Exploration of this bacterium holds great promise because of the role of microbes in nutrient cycling, environmental detoxification and novel metabolic abilities in pharmaceuticals and industrial processes and act as a major resource for agricultural, industrial, and medicinal applications .

Method: The researcher searched the PubMed database and other different Journals Online archives from September 2018 to February 2019 using the search term 'bioprospecting potential of the bacterium' to find articles published recently onwards.

Result: We included 36 published articles in our analysis. Most articles were on occurrence, diversity, insecticidal activity, metabolism, metabolic role, and industrial uses of bacterial and also economic uses of the bacterium. Members of Bacillus and related genera are used for the synthesis of a very wide range of important medical, agricultural, pharmaceutical and other industrial products.

Conclusion: With recent advances in biotechnology, the economic contributions that these organisms can make in biotechnological applications and industrial processes can be exploited further for large scale benefit of mankind.
