A genus of bacteria that researchers can use to transfer DNA to plants.  Agrobacterium tumefaciens can infect plants and cause crown gall disease – a tumerous growth at the base of plants.  The DNA transfer occurs naturally during the crown gall disease, and can be used as a method of transformation.

A naturally occurring bacterium present in soil and used successfully by home gardeners and organic farmers to control certain insects for more than 40 years.  When ingested by a target insect, the protein produced by Bt
