摘要:
The subject invention concerns a novel and useful insecticide with activity against insect pests of the order Lepidoptera. Pests in the order Lepidoptera do heavy damage to crops, e.g., cabbage and broccoli. The insecticide of the subject invention is a novel B. thuringiensis microbe referred to as B.t. PS85A1, or mutants thereof. Specifically disclosed is an asporogenous mutant designated B.t. PS85A1-168. The spores or crystals of B.t. PS85A1, or the crystals of B.t. PS85A1-168, are useful to control lepidopteran pests in various environments.

The subject invention concerns a novel and useful insecticide with activity against insect pests of the order Coleoptera. Pests in the order Coleoptera do heavy damage to crops, e.g., corn. The insecticide of the subject invention is a novel B. thuringiensis microbe referred to as B.t. PS86B1, or mutants thereof. The spores or crystals of this microbe are useful to control coleopteran pests in various environments.
摘要:
Novel Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) isolates are disclosed and claimed. These novel B.t. isolates have activity against the Egyptian alfalfa weevil, which is known to cause heavy agricultural losses.

The subject invention concerns a novel and useful insecticide with activity against insect pests of the order Coleoptera and the order Lepidoptera. Pests in the order Coleoptera do heavy damage to crops, e.g., corn. The insecticide of the subject invention is a novel B. thuringiensis microbe referred to as B.t. MT 104, or mutants thereof. The spores or crystals of this microbe are useful to control coleopteran and lepidopteran pests in various environments.

摘要:
Noven B.t. genes encoding toxins active against nematode pests have been cloned. The DNA encoding the B.t. toxin can be used to transform various hosts to express the B.t. toxin.
摘要:
Methods and compositions for the control of pests of the family Calliphoridae are described. Specifically, Bacillus thuringiensis (B.t.) isolates having anti-calliphorid activity are disclosed. Also described are recombinant hosts which express B.t. genes coding for pesticidal toxins. The B.t. isolates and recombinant proteins are shown to be useful in a method for controlling calliphorids including screw-worms and the sheep blowfly.
