#$%^&*AU2016202231A120160505.pdf#####ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE 5 Compositions and methods for conferring pesticidal activity to bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions comprising a coding sequence for a toxin polypeptide are provided. The coding sequences can be used in DNA constructs or expression cassettes for transformation and expression in plants and 10 bacteria. Compositions also comprise transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, tissues, and seeds. In particular, isolated toxin nucleic acid molecules are provided. Additionally, amino acid sequences corresponding to the polynucleotides are encompassed, and antibodies specifically binding to those amino acid sequences. In particular, the present invention provides for isolated nucleic acid molecules comprising 15 nucleotide sequences encoding the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO:13-30, or the nucleotide sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:1-12, as well as variants and fragments thereof 20 41756AU2 -482648648vl
