Leisy Douglas J; Quistad Gary B; Skinner Palo Alto, CA, UNITED Wayne S STATES assigned to Sandoz Ltd Novel plectoxins isolated from the Primitive Hunting Spider, Plectreurys tristis are described, and their amino acid sequences are presented. These are toxic to various groups of insects, including Lepidopterans. A particularly potent plectoxin is Plt-VI. The plectoxins may be cloned into a baculovirus vector and hasten its speed of kill.

Two new Bacillus thuringiensis strains, which are deposited at the DSM under accession nos 5870 and 5871, produce new crystal proteins during sporulation that are toxic to Coleoptera and that are encoded by new genes. The crystal proteins contain protoxins, which can yield toxins as trypsin-digestion products. A plant, the genome of which is transformed with a DNA sequence that comes from either one of the strains and that encodes an insecticidally effective portion of its respective protoxin or encodes its

The mycoherbicide of the present invention is effective in the control of Calamagrostis canadensis and/or related grasses, particularly in areas undergoing reforestation. The mycoherbicide includes one or both of Fusarium nivalis (ATCC #26050) and a fungus, Colletotrichum ATCC calamagrostidis (PFC-2 15, #74287), isolated from a diseased plant of 27’9
