The subject invention provides KB59A4-6 pesticidal proteins and preferred methods of using these proteins to control lepidoteran pests. This invention providesisolate KB59A4-6.

Pesticidal proteins and methods of using these proteins

Disclosed and claimed are novel isolates, pesticidal toxins, genes, and nucleotide probes and primers for the identification of genes encoding toxins active against pests. The primers are useful in PCR techniques to produce gene fragments which are characteristic of genes encoding these toxins. The subject invention provides entirely new families of toxins from Bacillus isolates.

Pesticidal toxins and nucleotide sequences which encode these toxins

The specification discloses a nucleic acid from strain KB59A4-6 that encodes a novel pesticidal SUP toxin and plants and microbial cells transformed with the nucleic acid.
