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 ...

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.

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 ...

Fabclavine diversity in Xenorhabdus bacteria

Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2020
The global threat of multiresistant pathogens has to be answered by the development of novel antibiotics. Established antibiotic applications are often based on so-called secondary or specialized metabolites (SMs), identified in large screening ...

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.

Identification of novel prophage regions in Xenorhabdus nematophila genome and gene expression analysis during phage-like particle induction [PDF]

PeerJ, 2022
Background Entomopathogenic Xenorhabdus bacteria are endosymbionts of Steinernema nematodes and together they form an insecticidal mutualistic association that infects a wide range of insect species. Xenorhabdus produce an arsenal of toxins and secondary
