ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a plant-colonizing microorganism which has been genetically engineered to integrate into the chromosome of such microorganism, DNA derived from B. thuringiensis coding for protein toxin. The genetically engineered plant-colonizing microorganisms of the invention, and their progeny, proliferate in commensal or non-detrimental relationship with the plant in the plant environment and are insecticidally active against a subspecies of insect pest which are harmful to the plant. The invention further relates to insecticidal compositions containing such plant-colonizing microorganisms as the active insecticidal agent and to a method of using such genetically engineered plant-colonizing microorganisms in a method of killing or inhibiting insect pests.
