Abstract
A novel B.t. isolate with activity against lepidopteran insects is disclosed. This isolate is highly active agaist the beet armyworm. A gene from this isolate has been cloned. 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 lepidopteran insects in various environments.
