Genetically modified bacterial strain for insect pest control
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11859197B2) discloses a genetically modified bacterial strain capable of expressing specific polypeptides that can kill or inhibit the development of insect pests. The patent claims include the use of bacterial lysate, nucleic acid constructs encoding the insecticidal polypeptides, compositions comprising these constructs, and isolated cells transformed with them. The patent also covers methods for increasing plant resistance to insect pests by either transforming plants with the nucleic acid constructs or by directly contacting plants with the genetically modified bacterial strain or its composition.
Furthermore, the patent extends to the transformation of various types of cells, including bacterial, plant, yeast, and insect cells, with the nucleic acid constructs encoding the insecticidal polypeptides. It also includes the transformation of plants with these constructs to confer resistance to insect pests. The methods outlined in the patent offer alternative approaches to enhancing plant resistance to insect pests, either through genetic modification of the plant itself or through the application of the genetically modified bacterial strain or its components. This patent represents a significant development in the field of agricultural biotechnology, providing novel solutions for pest management in crops.
