The present disclosure provides a method for improving the survival and viability of Streptomyces spp. spores on coated seeds.

Disclosed are novel plant growth promoting formulations. The formulations of the present disclosure comprise microorganisms of the species Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus pumilus, Kribbella flavida, and Micrococcus luteus and can be used to promote plant growth and thereby reduce the time required to grow mature plants.

Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and 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 transformation into organisms of interest, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The insecticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing lepidopteran, coleopteran, dipteran, fungal, hemipteran, and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.
