Compositions and methods for controlling pests are provided. The methods involve transforming organisms with a nucleic acid sequence encoding an insecticidal protein. In particular, the nucleic acid sequences are useful for preparing plants and microorganisms that possess insecticidal activity. Thus, transformed bacteria, plants, plant cells, plant tissues and seeds are provided. Compositions are insecticidal nucleic acids and proteins of bacterial species. The sequences find use in the construction of expression vectors for subsequent transformation into organisms of interest including plants, as probes for the isolation of other homologous (or partially homologous) genes. The pesticidal proteins find use in controlling, inhibiting growth or killing Lepidopteran, Coleopteran, Dipteran, fungal, Hemipteran and nematode pest populations and for producing compositions with insecticidal activity.

A method of isolating and purifying bioactive compounds in an extract obtained from seaweed. The method involves the steps of: (a) circulating the extract through an ultrafiltration membrane having a suitable molecular weight cutoff; (b) collecting filtrate from the extract to obtain a first filtrate fraction and a retentate; and (c) rinsing the retentate to obtain one or more additional filtrate fractions. The bioactivity of the first filtrate fraction and the additional filtrate fractions can then be evaluated to determine their efficacy on plant growth. One or more bioactive molecules isolated from an algal specie are also described in which the one or more bioactive molecules have a molecular weight in the range of about 0.15 k Da to about 1.0 k Da and are capable of enhancing or improving plant growth.
