Use of proteins isolated from
View Patent ↗Provided herein are proteins derived from Pseudomonas sp., particularly Pseudomonas protegens , compositions comprising said proteins and their use in controlling molluscidal activity.
1. A method for controlling molluscs in a location that is a liquid where control is desired comprising: administering an amount of an enzyme having dihydrolipoamide dehydrogenase activity and/or an enzyme having fumarate hydratase activity effective to control said mollusk at said location.
2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said liquid is a body of water or paint.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said enzyme having fumarate hydratase activity has at least about 80% homology to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:6.
4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein enzyme having fumarate hydratase activity is encoded by a nucleic acid sequence that has at least about 80% homology to the nucleic acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:7.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein said enzyme having dihyrolipoamide dehydrogenase activity has at least about 80% homology to the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:8.
6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein enzyme having dihyrolipoamide dehydrogenase activity is encoded by a nucleic acid sequence that has at least about 80% homology to the nucleic acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO:9.
