Abstract
Disclosed here is a novel method for producing bacterial endospores which can be used as biocontrol agents for nematodes. Advantageously, the novel method does not require that bacteria be grown on living nematodes. Instead, explanted nematode tissue is used as the growth medium for the bacteria. The invention further concerns novel compositions comprising spores produced using the disclosed process.
