N2 - This review explores the diverse applications of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) beyond its traditional role as a bioinsecticide. Bt produces a variety of compounds with distinct chemical structures and biological activities. These include antimicrobial agents effective against plant pathogens and bioactive compounds that promote plant growth through the production of siderophores, hormones, and enzymes. Additionally, Bt's industrial potential is highlighted, encompassing biofuel production, bioplastics, nanoparticle synthesis, food preservation, anticancer therapies, and heavy metal bioremediation. This critical analysis emphasizes recent advancements and applications, providing insights into Bt's role in sustainable agriculture, biotechnology, and environmental management.
