A novel strain of Streptomyces galbus that produces metabolites and exhibits pesticidal activity is disclosed. In addition, a supernatant of the novel strain with pesticidal activity is disclosed. An ethyl acetate-soluble, small molecular weight, alkali stable, metabolite produced by the novel strain Streptomyces galbus with pesticidal activity against lepidopteran insects is provided. Also included are methods for fermenting the novel strain of Streptomyces galbus and increasing the bioactivity of the pesticidal activity. Also included are methods for protecting or treating plants from caterpillars comprising the step of applying to a plant an effective amount of the novel Streptomyces galbus strain, the metabolites produced by the strain, or a combination thereof.
An isolated Streptomyces galbus strain selected from the group consisting of a Streptomyces galbus strain having all the identifying characteristics of the Streptomyces galbus, strain deposited with NRRL as Accession No. 30232, variants of the strain deposited with NRRL as Accession No. 30232, wherein the variants have all the identifying characteristics of the NRRL No. 30232 strain;
An isolated Streptomyces galbus strain having all the identifying characteristics of the Streptomyces galbus strain deposited with NRRL as Accession No. 30232;
