The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, (73) Assignee: Pioneer Hi Bred International Inc, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and Johnston, IA (US) microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and (21) Appl. No.: 13/792,861 seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for Subsequent trans (22) Filed: Mar 11, 2013 formation into organisms of interest, as probes for the isola tion of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes.
