ABSTRACT:
A novel B.t. gene encoding a toxin which is toxic to nematodes has been cloned from a B. thuringiensis microbe. The DNA encoding the B.t. toxin can be used to transform various prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes to express the B.t. toxin. These recombinant microbes can be used to control nematodes in various environments.
