Abstract
Fusion proteins containing a targeting sequence, exosporium protein, or exosporium protein fragment that targets the fusion protein to the exosporium of a recombinantfamily member are provided. The fusion proteins further comprise an enzyme having ACC deaminase activity, a phospholipase, a lipase, a xylanase, a xylosidase, a lactonase, a chitosanase, a protease, a glucanase, a phytase, an acid phosphatase, a pectinase, a mannanase, and/or an expansin protein. Also provided are recombinantfamily members that express the fusion proteins, exosporium fragments derived from the recombinantfamily members, and formulations containing the recombinantfamily members or exosporium fragments. Plant seeds treated with the recombinantfamily members, exosporium fragments, or formulations are also provided. The invention further relates to methods for stimulating plant growth and/or promoting plant health using the recombinantfamily members, exosporium fragments, or formulations.
