  • Bacillus thuringiensis isolates and toxins
    Patent number: 5635480
    Abstract: Disclosed and claimed are toxins produced by novel Bacillus thuringiensis isolates designated B.t. PS92J, B.t. PS196S1, B.t. PS201L1, and B.t. PS201T6, which have dipteran and/or corn rootworm activity. Thus, the isolates, or mutants thereof, can be used to control such pests. Further, claimed are novel genes encoding these .delta.-endotoxins, which can be expressed in other hosts. Expression of the .delta.-endotoxins in such hosts results in the control of susceptible insect pests in the environment of such hosts.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 31, 1995
    Date of Patent: June 3, 1997
    Assignee: Mycogen Corporation
    Inventors: Jewel Payne, Kenneth E. Narva, Kendrick A. Uyeda, Christine J. Stalder, Tracy E. Michaels

  • Bacillus thuringiensis isolates active against dipteran pests
    Patent number: 5298245
    Abstract: Bacillus thuringiensis cultures deposited as NRRL B-18747, NRRL B-18749 and NRRL B-18750 have dipteran activity. Thus, these cultures, or mutants thereof, can be used to control such insect pests. Further, genes encoding novel .delta.-endotoxins can be removed from these cultures and transferred to other host microbes, or plants. Expression of the .delta.-endotoxins in such hosts results in the control of susceptible insect pests in the environment of such hosts.
