LuxS-dependent AI-2 production is not involved in global regulation of natural product biosynthesis in Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus [PDF]
The Gram-negative bacteria Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus are known to produce a variety of different natural products (NP). These compounds play different roles since the bacteria live in symbiosis with nematodes and are pathogenic to insect larvae in the

Whole-genome-based revisit of Photorhabdus phylogeny: proposal for the elevation of most Photorhabdus subspecies to the species level and description of one novel species Photorhabdus bodei sp. nov., and one novel subspecies Photorhabdus laumondii subsp. clarkei subsp. nov. [PDF]
Bacterial symbionts are crucial for the infectivity and success of entomopathogenic nematodes as biological control agents. The current understanding of the symbiotic relationships is limited by taxonomic uncertainties.

The role of TcdB and TccC subunits in secretion of the photorhabdus Tcd toxin complex [PDF]
The Toxin Complex (TC) is a large multi-subunit toxin encoded by a range of bacterial pathogens. The best-characterized examples are from the insect pathogens Photorhabdus, Xenorhabdus and Yersinia.

Influence of Osmolarity on Phase Shift in Photorhabdus luminescens [PDF]
The influence of osmolarity and other environmental factors like low oxygen levels, light, extreme pH values, and temperatures on phase variation of Photorhabdus luminescens, the symbiotic bacterium of entomopathogenic nematodes of the genus Heterorhabditis, was investigated.
