Live cultures of Bacillus thuringiensis (Dipel) and B. subtilis
(Kodiak) are sold as pesticides.What bacterial structures make it
possible to package and sell these bacteria? For what purpose is
each product used?


Is it because it's close to anthrax?(endosporish)

The genus Bacillus, does form spores (like that anthrax you mention). What do spores do for a bacteria that would make possible to package---answer that an you'll understand the answer to your question.

Edit: this sounds suspiciously like a homework problem. Is it?
