Abstract
The subject invention concerns novel microbes and genes encoding novel toxin proteins with activity against insect pests of the order Hymenoptera. Pests in the order Hymenoptera are common house pests, and they create problems in hospitals, the food industry and in agriculture. The novel Bacillus thuringiensis microbe of the invention is referred to as B.t. PS211B2. The spores or crystals of these microbes, or mutants thereof, are useful to control hymenopteran pests in various environments. The genes of the invention can be used to transform various hosts wherein the novel toxic proteins can be expressed.
