Toxins and Secretion Systems of Photorhabdus luminescens

Toxins, 2010
Photorhabdus luminescens is a nematode-symbiotic, gram negative, bioluminescent bacterium, belonging to the family of Enterobacteriaceae.Recent studies show the importance of this bacterium as an alternative source of insecticides, as well as an emerging

Selective Toxicity of Secondary Metabolites from the Entomopathogenic Bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens sonorensis against Selected Plant Parasitic Nematodes of the Tylenchina Suborder

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
Entomopathogenic Photorhabdus bacteria (Enterobacteriaceae: Gamma-proteobacteria), the natural symbionts of Heterorhabditis nematodes, are a rich source for the discovery of biologically active secondary metabolites (SMs).

Molecular Characterization and Antibacterial Activities of Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus from Mizoram, North-East India

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2023
Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus are the bacterial symbionts of insect pathogenic nematodes, Heterorhabditis and Steinernema, respectively. This study aims to characterize the bacterial symbionts from Mizoram, North-east India and to evaluate their ...

Ail and PagC-related proteins in the entomopathogenic bacteria of Photorhabdus genus. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Among pathogenic Enterobacteriaceae, the proteins of the Ail/OmpX/PagC family form a steadily growing family of outer membrane proteins with diverse biological properties, potentially involved in virulence such as human serum resistance, adhesion and ...

Isolation and Characterization of Photorhabdus Spp. (Enterobacteriaceae) Isolated From Heterorhabditis Bacteriophora in Kashere, Nigeria

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2021
Photorhabdus bacteria are symbiotically associated with the infective juveniles of entomopathogenic nematodes of the genus Heterorhabditis. These bacteria after infecting a susceptible host, produces a host of lethal toxins that killthe insect hosts ...

Antibacterial activity of Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus isolated from entomopathogenic nematodes against antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

PLoS ONE, 2020
Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus, symbiotically associated with entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), produce a range of antimicrobial compounds. The objective of this study is to identify Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus and their EPNs hosts, which were isolated ...

Evaluation of responses of different ant species (Formicidae) to the scavenger deterrent factor associated with the entomopathogenic nematode-bacterium complex

European Journal of Entomology, 2018
According to previous observations, it was hypothesized that the feeding behavior of some ant species would be deterred by a scavenger deterrent factor (SDF), whereas for other species it would not.

Temperature Restriction in Entomopathogenic Bacteria

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Temperature plays an important role in bacteria-host interactions and can be a determining factor for host switching. In this study we sought to investigate the reasons behind growth temperature restriction in the entomopathogenic enterobacterium ...
