Celenk described procedures in paper entitled "Isolation and characterization of Bacillus thuringiensis strains from olive-related habitats in Turkey" which appeared in Journal of Applied Microbiology 104 (2008) 515–525.
You can use primers for cry gene identification as bacillus cereus and bacillus thuringiensis have no genetic difference only crystal protein staining and cry gen amplification will help to identify.
