ABSTRACT:
Bacillus thuringiensis cultures deposited as NRRL B-18747, NRRL B-18749 and NRRL B-18750 have dipteran activity. Thus, these cultures, or mutants thereof, can be used to control such insect pests. Further, genes encoding novel .delta.-endotoxins can be removed from these cultures 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.
