Abstract
The subject invention concerns a novel microbe and genes encoding novel toxin proteins with activity against cockroaches. Cockroaches 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. PS185L8. The subject invention also concerns the use of PS201T6 to control cockroaches. The spores or crystals of these microbes, or variants thereof, are useful to control cockroaches in various environments. The genes of the invention can be used to transform various hosts wherein the novel toxic proteins can be expressed.
