ABSTRACT:
Disclosed and claimed is a novel Bacillus thuringiensis isolate designated B.t. PS192N1 which has dipteran activity. Thus, this isolate, or mutants thereof, can be used to control such insect pests. Further, genes encoding novel .delta.-endotoxins can be removed from the isolate and transferred to other host microbes, or plants. Expression of the .delta.-endotoxins in such hosts results in the control of susceptible insect pests in the environment of such hosts.
