Compositions comprising recombinant bacillus cells and another biological control agent

A method of treating a plant, a plant part, or the locus surrounding the plant to enhance plant growth and/or promote plant health comprising the step of simultaneously or sequentially applying:

• a) recombinant exosporium-producing Bacillus cells that express a fusion protein comprising:
• (i) a cellulase;
• and
• (ii) a targeting sequence, exosporium protein, or exosporium protein fragment, wherein the targeting sequence or exosporium protein comprises:
• an amino acid sequence having at least about 43% identity with amino acids 20-35 of SEQ ID NO:
• 1, wherein the identity with amino acids 25-35 is at least about 54%;
• a targeting sequence comprising amino acids 1-35 of SEQ ID NO:
• 1;
• a targeting sequence comprising amino acids 20-35 of SEQ ID NO:
• 1;
• a targeting sequence comprising amino acids 22-31 of SEQ ID NO:
• 1;
• a targeting sequence comprising amino acids 22-33 of SEQ ID NO:
• 1;
• a targeting sequence comprising amino acids 20-31 of SEQ ID NO:
• 1;
• a targeting sequence comprising SEQ ID NO:
• 1;
• or
• an exosporium protein comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 85% identity with SEQ ID NO:
• 2;
• and
• b) at least one biological control agent selected from the group consisting of a Bacillus thuringiensis, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus mycoides isolate J, Bacillus methylotrophicus, Bacillus vallismortis, Chromobacterium subtsugae, Delftia acidovorans, Streptomyces lydicus, Streptomyces colombiensis, Streptomyces galbus K61, and Penicillium bilaii;
• in a synergistically effective amount.
