The present invention relates to a plant flour material comprising a ground, dried plant material, wherein the plant material contains a recombinant protein comprises a bactericidal or an insecticidal protein toxin, or combinations thereof. The present invention further relates to a seed oil body composition comprising a seed oil body fusion, said oil body fusion comprising an oil body protein fused to a recombinant protein comprising a bactericidal or an insecticidal protein toxin. The present invention provides for a method of abating or controlling the population of mosquitoes comprising administering to a water source suspected of containing mosquito larvae an effective amount of seed oil body preparation comprising one or more Bti toxins, optionally in combination with one or more BtBs. Additionally, the present invention provides for a method of controlling or abating a pathogenic microbial population comprising administering to an insect population, which serves as a host for the pathogenic microbial population, a recombinant plant material containing a recombinant protein comprising an bactericidal protein toxin. |
