METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR CONTROL OF MITE INFESTATIONS USING A NEWLY DISCOVERED SPECIES OF BURKHOLDERIA

摘要

Disclosed herein are methods and compositions for controlling mite infestations in plants. The compositions are obtained from cultures of a newly-discovered bacterial isolate, Burkholderia A396. The strain is unique based on its ribosomal RNA sequence, the nucleotide sequences of a number of additional loci, and a variety of biochemical characteristics.
