BENEFICIAL COMBINATIONS WITH RECOMBINANT BACILLUS CELLS EXPRESSING A SERINE PROTEASE
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition comprising (a) a recombinant Bacillus cereus family member that expresses a fusion protein comprising (i) an enzyme having serine protease activity comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 95% identity to any one of SEQ ID NOs: 4-5 or an amino acid sequence having at least 95% identity to SEQ ID NO: 6 and (ii) a targeting sequence, exosporium protein, or exosporium protein fragment that targets the fusion protein to the exosporium of a recombinant Bacillus cereus family member or exosporium fragments derived from such recombinant Bacillus cereus family member; and (b) at least one insecticide or plant growth promoter disclosed herein, in a synergistically effective amount. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as well as a method for nematode control, enhancing plant growth, promoting plant health, and/or reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts.
