Abstract

A species of Burkholderia sp with no known pathogenicity to vertebrates but with pesticidal activity (e.g., plants, insects, fungi, weeds and nematodes) is provided. Also provided are natural products derived from a culture of said species and methods of controlling pests using said natural products.

Claims

1. A method for modulating pest infestation in a plant comprising the step of:

applying to the plant and/or seeds thereof and/or substrate used for growing said plant an effective amount of a fermented composition comprising whole cell broth from a Burkholderia strain A396 (NRRL Accession No. B-50319) fermentation, wherein said fermented composition comprises templamide A, templamide B, FR901465 and/or FR90128 to modulate said pest infestation.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein said composition further comprises one or more chemical and/or biological pesticide.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein said composition further comprises one or more carriers, diluent, surfactants, and/or adjuvants.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein said pest comprises nematodes, beet armyworms, green peach aphids, cabbage loopers and/or stinkbugs.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein said nematodes comprise root-knot, ring, sting, lance, cyst, or lesion nematodes.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein said composition further comprises Templazole A, Templazole B or both.
