The present invention includes modified and unmodified microbes, compositions comprising these microbes, and methods of using these microbes and/or compositions for enhancing plant health, plant growth plant yield and/or drought tolerance. This disclosure also provides non-naturally occurring plant varieties that are artificially infected with microbes descried herein, as well as seed, reproductive tissue, vegetative tissue, regenerative tissues, plant parts, or progeny thereof.

Microbes, compositions, and uses for increasing plant yield and/or drought tolerance

The present invention includes methods and compositions that produce greater pesticidal activity in FR901228 conjugates. FR901228 can be conjugated with one or more thiol containing molecules and produce a new conjugate that exhibits increase pesticidal activity than FR901228 alone.

Methods and compositions that increase pesticidal activity for FR901228

Provided are biologically pure bacterial isolates characterized by a genome structure at least 90% similar to a genome structure of a bacterial species selected from the group consisting of:sp. E128 having an NRRL Accession No. B-67462,A190 having an NRRL Accession No. B-67464,P243 having an NRRL Accession No. B-67459,M979 having an NRRL Accession No. B-67457,P63 having an NRRL Accession No. B-67461,sp. G706,E132 having an NRRL Accession No. B-67460,A918,O180,B670 having an NRRL Accession No. B67463,scopuliridis F427 having an NRRL Accession No. B-67458, andsp. L219. Also provided are whole cell broth or lysates thereof, and polynucleotide, polypeptides and constructs expressing same, compositions-of-matter comprising same and methods using same for killing or inhibiting the development of insects.
