The present invention relates to a composition comprising a) recombinant exosporium-producingcells that express a fusion protein comprising: (i) at least one plant growth stimulating protein or peptide and (ii) a targeting sequence that localizes the fusion protein to the exosporium of thecells; and b) at least one further biological control agent selected from particular microorganisms disclosed herein and/or a mutant of a specific strain of a microorganism disclosed herein having all identifying characteristics of the respective strain, and/or at least one metabolite produced by the respective strain, and/or at least one metabolite produced by the respective strain that exhibits activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens in a synergistically effective amount. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as well as a method for enhancing plant growth, promoting plant health, and/or reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts.

Compositions comprising recombinant bacillus cells and another biological control agent

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a) recombinant exosporium-producingcells that express a fusion protein comprising: (i) at least one plant growth stimulating protein or peptide and (ii) a targeting sequence that localizes the fusion protein to the exosporium of thecells; and b) at least one particular insecticide disclosed herein in a synergistically effective amount. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as well as a method for enhancing plant growth, promoting plant health, and/or reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts.

Compositions comprising recombinantcells and an insecticide

The present invention relates to a composition comprising a) recombinant exosporium-producingcells that express a fusion protein comprising: (i) at least one plant growth stimulating protein or peptide and (ii) a targeting sequence that localizes the fusion protein to the exosporium of thecells; and b) at least one particular fungicide disclosed herein in a synergistically effective amount. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as well as a method for enhancing plant growth, promoting plant health, and/or reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts.

Compositions comprising recombinantcells and a fungicide

The present invention relates to a fusion protein having a targeting sequence, exosporium protein, or exosporium protein fragment that targets the fusion protein to the exosporium of a recombinantfamily member and an enzyme having serine protease activity, wherein the enzyme having serine protease activity is fromor is a variant of such enzyme. The present invention also provides a recombinantfamily member that expresses such fusion protein and exosporium fragments derived from such recombinantfamily member. Methods of using such recombinantfamily members or exosporium fragments derived therefrom for nematode control are also provided.

Fusion proteins, recombinant bacteria, and exosporium fragments for pest control and plant health

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.

Compositions comprising recombinant bacillus cells and an insecticide

The disclosure is generally directed to methods for screening, identifying, and producing microorganisms capable of imparting beneficial properties to plants. In some aspects, improved plant-associated soil microorganisms are generated by experimental evolution using a plant root exudate or root exudate compound.
