Abstract: Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, fungal, Hemipteran and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nutritional supplement for administration to children. The supplement comprises a protein component, a carbohydrate component, and a fat or lipid component which further comprises a source of DHA. The supplement has an ?-6:?3 fatty acid ratio of about 6:1 or less. The present invention also relates to a method of providing nutrition to a pediatric subject comprising administering to the subject a nutritional supplement comprising a protein component; a carbohydrate component; and a fat or lipid component, which further comprises a source of DHA, wherein the composition has an ?-6:?-3 fatty acid ratio of about 6:1 or less.
