ABSTRACT:
A method for killing pests (e.g. insects) comprising administering material fromXenorhabdusspecies (e.g.X. nematophilus) such as cells or supernatants orally to the pests, either alone or in conjunction withBacillus thuringiensisor pesticidal materials derived therefrom. Also disclosed is an isolated pesticidal agent (and compositions comprising the same) characterized in that it is obtainable from cultures ofX. nematophilusor mutants thereof, has oral pesticidal activity agentPieris brassicae, Pieris rapaeandPlutella xylostella, is substantially heat stable to 55° C., is proteinaceous, acts synergistically withB. thuringiensiscells as an oral pesticide and is substantially resistant to proteolysis by trypsin and proteinase K. DNA encoding pesticidal activity is also disclosed.
