Pleiotropic role of PAX cyclolipopeptides in the Xenorhabdus bacterium mutualistically associated with entomopathogenic nematodes [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Xenorhabdus is an entomopathogenic bacterium involved in a mutualistic relationship with Steinernema nematodes. Xenorhabdus produces a multitude of specialized metabolites by non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) pathways to mediate bacterium-nematode ...

The Entomopathogenic Bacterial Endosymbionts Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus: Convergent Lifestyles from Divergent Genomes [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Members of the genus Xenorhabdus are entomopathogenic bacteria that associate with nematodes. The nematode-bacteria pair infects and kills insects, with both partners contributing to insect pathogenesis and the bacteria providing nutrition to the ...

Analyses of Xenorhabdus griffiniae genomes reveal two distinct sub-species that display intra-species variation due to prophages [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Nematodes of the genus Steinernema and their Xenorhabdus bacterial symbionts are lethal entomopathogens that are useful in the biocontrol of insect pests, as sources of diverse natural products, and as research models for mutualism and ...

Bacteria of the Genus Xenorhabdus, a Novel Source of Bioactive Compounds

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The genus Xenorhabdus of the family Enterobacteriaceae, are mutualistically associated with entomopathogenic nematodes of the genus Steinernema. Although most of the associations are species-specific, a specific Xenorhabdus sp.

Antiprotozoal activity of different Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus bacterial secondary metabolites and identification of bioactive compounds using the easyPACId approach

Scientific Reports, 2022
Natural products have been proven to be important starting points for the development of new drugs. Bacteria in the genera Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus produce antimicrobial compounds as secondary metabolites to compete with other organisms. Our study is

Molluscicidal property of symbiotic bacteria associated with entomopathogenic nematodes against Indoplanorbis exustus and Radix rubiginosa, the intermediate hosts of trematode parasites [PDF]

Parasite Epidemiology and Control
Indoplanorbis exustus and Radix rubiginosa act as intermediate hosts for veterinary and medical trematode parasites. Snail control is a strategy used to decrease the number of snails and interrupt the life cycle of parasites.
