Isolated bacterial strain of the genus
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.
1. A method for inhibiting one or more monocotyledonous, sedge or dicotyledonous weeds comprising the step of: applying to the weeds an effective amount of a fermented composition comprising a
whole cell broth, cell fraction, filtrate, supernatant, or extract from a Burkholderia rinojensis A396 (NRRL Accession No. B-50319) fermentation, and glyphosate, to inhibit said one or more weeds.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said fermented composition further comprises one or more chemical and/or biological herbicides.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said fermented composition further comprises one or more carriers, diluent, surfactants, and/or adjuvants.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said fermented composition further comprises Templazole A, Templazole B, or both.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein said weed comprises Amaranthus palmeri.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said fermented composition further comprises one or more chemical and/or biological herbicides.
7. A method for inhibiting one or more monocotyledonous, sedge, or dicotyledonous weeds comprising the step of: applying to the weeds an effective amount of a composition comprising a
whole cell broth collected from Burkholderia A396, NRRL Accession No. B-50319 fermentation comprising templazole A; templazole B; templamide B; FR90128; and FR901465, wherein the Burkholderia A396, NRRL Accession No. B-50319 fermentation comprises lysed Burkholderia A396, NRRL Accession No. B-50319, to inhibit said one or more weeds.
