摘要:
A novel B.t. gene encoding a toxin which is toxic to coleopteran insects has been cloned from a coleopteran-active B. thurningiensis microbe. The DNA encoding the B.t. toxin can be used to transform various prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes to express the B.t. toxin. These recombinant microbes can be used to control coleopteran insects in various environments.
摘要:
The subject disclosure concerns Bacillus thuringiensis strains which can be used to control lepidopteran pests. The strains were previously known to control coleopteran pests. The discovery of lepidopteran activity was totally unexpected.These B.t. strains can be formulated using standard lepidopteran formulation procedures. Means of administration are also standard.The genes encoding lepidopteran-active toxins can be isolated from the B.t. isolates and used to transform other microbes for use to control lepidopteran pests.
摘要:
Disclosed are compositions and processes for controlling lepidopteran pests. These compositions comprise synergistic combinations of a CryIF chimeric and CryIA(c) chimeric Bacillus thuringiensis .delta.-endotoxin. These compositions have been found to exhibit excellent activity against lepidopteran pests.

This invention concerns novel gene probes which can be used to identify DNA from Bacillus thuringiensis microbes which encode protein endotoxins. The invention probes greatly facilitate the search for useful microbes hosting genes which encode toxins.
摘要:
The subject invention concerns new classes of pesticidally active proteins and the polynucleotide sequences which encode these proteins. More specifically, in preferred embodiments, pesticidal proteins of approximately 40-50 kDa and of approximately 10-15 kDa are used for controlling corn rootworms. Also described are novel pesticidal isolates of Bacillus thuringiensis.

A novel B.t. gene encoding a toxin which is toxic to nematodes has been cloned from a B. thuringiensis microbe. The DNA encoding the B.t. toxin can be used to transform various prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes to express the B.t. toxin. These recombinant microbes can be used to control nematodes in various environments.
