Claims7
An isolated, nematicidal protein wherein said protein comprises a nematicidal portion of the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:8.
An isolated, nematicidal protein wherein said protein comprises a nematicidal portion of a nematicidal δ-endotoxin obtainable from Bacillus thuringiensis isolate PS52A1 (NRRL B-18245).
A method for controlling a nematode pest wherein said method comprises administering a nematicidal protein to said pest so that said pest ingests said protein, wherein said protein comprises a nematicidal portion of the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:8.
A method for controlling a nematode pest wherein said method comprises administering a nematicidal protein to said pest so that said pest ingests said protein, wherein said protein comprises a nematicidal portion of a nematicidal δ-endotoxin obtainable from Bacillus thuringiensis isolate PS52A1 (NRRL B-18245), and wherein said δ-endotoxin comprises SEQ ID NO:19.
