and microbial insecticides, spider toxins and insect peptide hormone have been dis-
covered (Whetstone and Hammock 2007 ; Van Damme 2008 ). For instance, bacte-
rium Photorhabdus luminescens produces photorhabdus toxin, which is an alterna-
tive to Bt for transgenic production. And the combination of photorhabdus toxins
