New bacillus thuringiensis isolate active against Coleoptera and a new gene encoding a toxin active against Coleoptera.

摘要

This invention relates to a new microorganism and what a gene encodes a novel protein toxin activity against insect pests of the order Coleoptera. PESTS order Coleoptera make great damage to crops, EG. CORN. NEW ORGANISM Bacillus thuringiensis OF THE INVENTION IS APPOINTED BT PS50C. THE CRYSTALS spores or this organism, or mutants thereof, are useful for controlling coleopteran pests in different environments. The new gene of the invention can be used to transform various host WHERE THE NEW PROTEIN TOXICA can be expressed.
