Photorhabdus luminescens genes induced upon insect infection [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2008
Abstract Background Photorhabdus luminescens is a Gram-negative luminescent enterobacterium and a symbiote to soil nematodes belonging to the species Heterorhabditis bacteriophora. P.luminescens is simultaneously highly pathogenic to insects.

Evaluation of the Antifungal Activities of Photorhabdus akhurstii and Its Secondary Metabolites against Phytopathogenic Colletotrichum gloeosporioides

Journal of Fungi, 2022
Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is a phytopathogenic fungus that causes devastating losses in strawberries without effective countermeasures. Members of the genus Photorhabdus exhibit antimicrobial capability and have been found to have the potential for ...

Photorhabdus Species: Bioluminescent Bacteria as Human Pathogens?

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003
We report two Australian patients with soft tissue infections due to Photorhabdus species. Recognized as important insect pathogens, Photorhabdus spp. are bioluminescent gram-negative bacilli.

Comparative genomics of the emerging human pathogen Photorhabdus asymbiotica with the insect pathogen Photorhabdus luminescens [PDF]

BMC Genomics, 2009
Abstract Background The Gram-negative bacterium Photorhabdus asymbiotica (Pa) has been recovered from human infections in both North America and Australia. Recently, Pa has been shown to have a nematode vector that can also infect insects, like its sister species the insect pathogen P. luminescens (Pl).

Photorhabdus: a tale of contrasting interactions

Microbiology, 2020
Different model systems have, over the years, contributed to our current understanding of the molecular mechanisms underpinning the various types of interaction between bacteria and their animal hosts. The genus Photorhabdus comprises Gram-negative insect pathogenic

RNA-Sequencing of Heterorhabditis nematodes to identify factors involved in symbiosis with Photorhabdus bacteria

BMC Genomics, 2022
Background Nematodes are a major group of soil inhabiting organisms. Heterorhabditis nematodes are insect-pathogenic nematodes and live in a close symbiotic association with Photorhabdus bacteria.

Entomopathogenic Nematodes and Their Symbiotic Bacteria from the National Parks of Thailand and Larvicidal Property of Symbiotic Bacteria against Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus

Biology, 2022
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are insect parasitic nematodes of the genera Het-erorhabditis and Steinernema. These nematodes are symbiotically associated with the bacteria, Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus, respectively.

Genome analysis of secondary metabolite‑biosynthetic gene clusters of Photorhabdus akhurstii subsp. akhurstii and its antibacterial activity against antibiotic-resistant bacteria

PLoS ONE, 2022
Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus can produce a variety of secondary metabolites with broad spectrum bioactivity against microorganisms. We investigated the antibacterial activity of Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus against 15 antibiotic-resistant bacteria ...

Identification of Natural Isonitriles Through Ligation to an Azomethine Imine Probe

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
The azomethine imine (AMI)–isonitrile (NC) ligation allowed for the chemoselective detection of natural isonitriles in bacteria and fungi. The reactivity‐based screening establishes a new stereogenic center, thereby allowing for facile distinction between chiral and achiral isonitriles. The work also unraveled a unique reactivity of isonitriles bearing

High‐Throughput Engineering and Modification of Non‐Ribosomal Peptide Synthetases Based on Golden Gate Assembly

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 49, December 1, 2025.
A Golden Gate Assembly (GGA)‐based method was developed for the efficient assembly of natural and engineered non‐ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS). This method has enabled the creation of NRPS libraries to generate novel peptides in high‐throughput as well as the targeted derivatisation of natural products (NPs).
