Hey there!
I have the answer to your question!
Insect is cotton boll worms.
cryIAc is responsible to produce a toxic crystalline protein known as cry protein (Bt toxin). It is not toxic to the bacterium because it exist as an inactive
protoxin in the bacterium. When this toxin enters the insect , it is converted into an active form of toxin due to the alkalyne pH of the gut.
The activated toxin binds to the surface of midgut epithelial cells and create pores. It causes death of the insect.
