ABSTRACT:
The subject invention concerns a novel microbe and gene encoding a novel toxin protein with activity against insect pests of the order Coleoptera. Pests in the order Coleoptera do heavy damage to crops, e.g., corn. The novel Bacillus thuringiensis microbe of the invention is referred to as B.t. PS50C. The spores or crystals of this microbe, or mutants thereof, are useful to control coleopteran pests in various environments. The novel gene of the invention can be used to transform various hosts wherein the novel toxic protein can be expressed.
