ABSTRACT:
Disclosed and claimed are Bacillus thuringiensis isolates designated B.t. PS86A1 and B.t. PS86Q3, which are active against corn rootworm larvae and the alfalfa weevil. Thus, these isolates, or mutants thereof, can be used to control such pests. Further, genes encoding novel .delta.-endotoxins can be removed from these isolates and transferred to other host microbes, or plants. Expression of the .delta.-endotoxins in such hosts results in the control of corn rootworm larvae and the alfalfa weevil.
