Abstract
The invention relates to the identification and isolation of polynucleotide molecules encoding a new class of protein insecticidal toxins which are produced by bacteria from the genera Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus. The polynucleotide molecules may be incorporated into, for example, insect-specific viruses (including entomopox and nuclear polyhedrosis viruses), bacteria (including Gracilicutes, Firmicutes, Tenericutes and Mendosicutes), protozoa, yeast and plants for control of pest insects.
