The present invention provides a composition comprising a biologically pure culture of asp. strain or a cell-free preparation thereof comprising a fusaricidin and a tridecaptin; wherein the fusaricidin is produced with a fusaricidin synthetase gene of fusA encoded by a DNA sequence exhibiting at least 90.5% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 3; and the tridecaptin is produced with a nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) gene of triE encoded by a DNA sequence exhibiting at least 90.0% sequence identity to SEQ ID NO: 7. Also provided are methods of treating an agricultural plant to control a disease and methods of increasing the vigor and/or crop yield of an agricultural plant with the disclosed compositions.

Paenibacillus strains and methods for their use

The present invention provides a composition comprising a biologically pure culture of asp. strain comprising a mutant DegU lacking a functional receiver domain or a functional DNA binding domain and/or a mutant DegS lacking a functional single binding domain or a functional ATPase domain with decreased viscosity in a liquid culture. Also provided is a method of identifying asp. mutant derivative strain with decreased viscosity in a liquid culture compared to asp. parental strain with a visual screen for mutant isolates with a non-mucoid morphology.

Mutants of paenibacillus and methods for their use

Signal sequences useful for targeting proteins and peptides to the surface of endospores produced byfamily members and methods of using the same are provided. The display of heterologous molecules, such as peptides, polypeptides and other recombinant constructs, on the spore surface offamily members, using particular N-terminal targeting sequences and derivatives of the same, are also provided.

-based endospore display platform, products and methods

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a biologically pure culture of a fungicidalsp. strain comprising a variant fusaricidin synthetase lacking a functional adenylation domain in the third module. The present invention also provides a composition comprising a biologically pure culture of a fungicidalsp. strain or a cell-free extract thereof comprising at least one Paeniserine and at least one Paeniprolixin. Also provided are isolated compounds and methods of treating a plant to control a plant disease with the disclosed compositions and compounds.
