Phase Variation in Xenorhabdus nematophilus [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1998 ABSTRACT Xenorhabdus nematophilus is a symbiotic bacterium that inhabits the intestine of entomopathogenic nematodes. The bacterium-nematode symbiotic pair is pathogenic for larval-stage insects. The phase I cell type is the form of the bacterium normally associated with the nematode.

Long-term persistence of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in entomopathogenic nematodes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are small worms whose ecological behaviour consists to invade, kill insects and feed on their cadavers thanks to a species-specific symbiotic bacterium belonging to any of the genera Xenorhabdus or Photorhabdus hosted in

Xenorhabdus bovienii strain jolietti uses a type 6 secretion system to kill closely related Xenorhabdus strains [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2020 ABSTRACTXenorhabdus bovienii strain jolietti (XBJ) is a Gram-negative bacterium that interacts with several organisms as a part of its life cycle. It is a beneficial symbiont of nematodes, a potent pathogen of a wide range of soil-dwelling insects and also has the ability to kill soil- and insect-associated microbes.

BMC Microbiology, 2019 Background Xenorhabdus spp. live in close symbiosis with nematodes of the Steinernema genus. Steinernema nematodes infect an insect larva and release their symbionts into the haemocoel of the insect. Once released into the haemocoel, the bacteria produce

International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 2017 Two slightly yellowish-pigmented, oxidase-negative, rod-shaped and Gram-stain-negative bacterial strains (30TX1T and DL20T), isolated from Steinernema sangi and Steinernema eapokense, respectively, during soil sampling in Vietnam were studied using a polyphasic taxonomic approach.

Membrane insertion of α-xenorhabdolysin in near-atomic detail
eLife, 2018 α-Xenorhabdolysins (Xax) are α-pore-forming toxins (α-PFT) that form 1–1.3 MDa large pore complexes to perforate the host cell membrane. PFTs are used by a variety of bacterial pathogens to attack host cells.

Microorganisms, 2023 Nematode–microbe symbiosis plays a key role in determining pathogenesis against pests. The modulation of symbiotic bacteria may affect the virulence of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) and the biological management of pests.

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 ...
