Interkingdom Signaling of the Insect Pathogen Photorhabdus luminescens with Plants Via the LuxR solo SdiA

Microorganisms, 2023
In bacteria, group-coordinated behavior such as biofilm formation or virulence are often mediated via cell–cell communication, a process referred to as quorum sensing (QS). The canonical QS system of Gram-negative bacteria uses N-acyl homoserine lactones

Combining entomopathogenic Pseudomonas bacteria, nematodes and fungi for biological control of a below-ground insect pest

Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment, 2023
Below-ground insect pests are challenging to control because they are hard to target with control measures. Moreover, broad spectrum insecticides are or will soon be banned due to their negative effects on non-target organisms.

A Review of Entomopathogenic Nematodes as a Biological Control Agent for Red Palm Weevil, Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae)

Insects, 2022
Rhynchophorus ferrugineus (Olivier) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is a severe pest of palm trees worldwide. The development and feeding activities of R. ferrugineus larvae inside the trunk damage palm trees.

Can Entomopathogenic Nematodes and Their Symbiotic Bacteria Suppress Fruit Fly Pests? A Review

Microorganisms, 2023
Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are serious pests that affect fruit production and marketing. Both third instar larvae and pupae are biological stages that persist in the soil until adult emergence.

Efficacy Test on Some Entomopathogenic Bacterial Isolates of the Periplaneta americana and Blatella germanica Cockroaches (Orthoptera) at Laboratory Scale

Biosaintifika: Journal of Biology & Biology Education, 2018
Cockroach is one of insects which plays a role as a disease vector, causing negative impacts to human health. Controlling cockroach by using excessive insecticide adds residue to the environment and strengthens its resistance toward insecticides.

The nesting preference of an invasive ant is associated with the cues produced by actinobacteria in soil.

PLoS Pathogens, 2020
Soil-dwelling animals are at risk of pathogen infection in soils. When choosing nesting sites, animals could reduce this risk by avoiding contact with pathogens, yet there is currently little evidence.

Mechanism of threonine ADP-ribosylation of F-actin by a Tc toxin

Nature Communications, 2022
Entomopathogenic bacteria used for pest control secrete potent Tc toxins. Here, the authors combine biochemistry, solution and solid-state NMR spectroscopy and cryo-EM to show in atomic detail how the toxin disrupts the host cell cytoskeleton and kills ...
