Estimating the term…
Novel nucleic acid sequences isolated from Photorhabdus luminescens, whose expression results in novel insecticidal toxins, are disclosed herein. The invention also discloses compositions and formulations containing the insecticidal toxins that are capable of controlling insect pests. The invention is further drawn to methods of making the toxins and to methods of using the nucleotide sequences, for example in microorganisms to control insect pests or in transgenic plants to confer insect resistance.
An isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising sequence that encodes at least one toxin that is active against lepidopteran and coleopteran insects, wherein said nucleotide sequence encodes the amino acid sequence set forth in SEO ID NO:12, SEQ ID NO:13 or SEQ ID NO:14.
