The present invention relates to a composition comprising a) recombinant exosporium-producing Bacillus cells that express a fusion protein comprising: (i) at least one plant growth stimulating protein or peptide and (ii) a targeting sequence that localizes the fusion protein to the exosporium of the Bacillus cells; and b) at least one further biological control agent selected from particular microorganisms disclosed herein and/or a mutant of a specific strain of a microorganism disclosed herein having all identifying characteristics of the respective strain, and/or at least one metabolite produced by the respective strain, and/or at least one metabolite produced by the respective strain that exhibits activity against insects, mites, nematodes and/or phytopathogens in a synergistically effective amount. Furthermore, the present invention relates to the use of this composition as well as a method for enhancing plant growth, promoting plant health, and/or reducing overall damage of plants and plant parts.

Planting corn in one or more consecutive growing seasons in the same fields causes a yield reduction (“corn-on-corn yield penalty”). We developed methods and inoculants comprising Penicillium bilaii, to reduce corn-on-corn yield penalty. The disclosure covers the inoculants and methods for reducing corn-on-corn yield penalty.

The present disclosure provides stable inoculant compositions and methods for enhancing the survival and/or stability of microorganisms in an inoculant composition. In some embodiments, the microorganisms in an inoculant compositions are stabilized by the presence of one or more maltodextrins having a dextrose equivalent value of about 15 to about 20.

The present invention concerns the use of an inoculum of at least one strain of Penicillium brasilianum for improving plant growth conditions. It also concerns a method of increasing the availability of phosphorus and/or micronutrients for plant uptake from a plant growth substrate, said method comprising applying to the plant growth substrate an effective amount of an inoculum of Penicillium brasilianum.

Embodiments of the disclosure relate to treatments for ringworm on biotic and abiotic surfaces. According to one aspect, a concentrated antimicrobial solution is provided. The concentrated solution includes an antimicrobial composition, a solubilizing agent, and an essential oil. The concentrated antimicrobial solution can be mixed with water, and the resulting solution can be used to disinfect abiotic surfaces from ringworm. According to another aspect, an antimicrobial cream is provided. The antimicrobial cream includes a carrier including a humectant and an antimicrobial composition dispersed in the carrier at 1% w/v or greater.
