Xenorhabdus bharatensis sp. nov., Xenorhabdus entomophaga sp. nov., Xenorhabdus siamensis sp. nov., and Xenorhabdus thailandensis sp. nov. Isolated from Steinernema Entomopathogenic Nematodes. [PDF]
AbstractFour Gram-stain-negative bacterial strains, CS20T, AUT15.5T, XENO-11T, and CCN3.3T, isolated from Steinernema entomopathogenic nematodes, were found to represent novel species within the genus Xenorhabdus (Gammaproteobacteria, Morganellaceae).

Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus are the bacterial symbionts of insect pathogenic nematodes, Heterorhabditis and Steinernema, respectively. This study aims to characterize the bacterial symbionts from Mizoram, North-east India and to evaluate their ...

High-Throughput Engineering and Modification of Non-Ribosomal Peptide Synthetases Based on Golden Gate Assembly. [PDF]
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).

Phase Variation in Xenorhabdus nematophilus [PDF]
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.

Optical mapping as a routine tool for bacterial genome sequence finishing [PDF]
Background: In sequencing the genomes of two Xenorhabdus species, we encountered a large number of sequence repeats and assembly anomalies that stalled finishing efforts.

Characterization of form variants of Xenorhabdus luminescens [PDF]
From Xenorhabdus luminescens XE-87.3 four variants were isolated. One, which produced a red pigment and antibiotics, was luminescent, and could take up dye from culture media, was considered the primary form (XE-red). A pink-pigmented variant (XE-pink) differed from the primary form only in pigmentation and uptake of dye. Of the two other variants, one

Plasmids and phase variation in Xenorhabdus spp [PDF]
Three strains of Xenorhabdus nematophilus (A24, F1, NC116) and strain Dan of Xenorhabdus bovienii were tested to evaluate whether the phase variation observed in these bacteria was in any way connected with plasmids. The plasmid patterns of both phases of A24 and F1 strains were the same, whereas the two NC116 phases had only one band each.

Long-term persistence of Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in entomopathogenic nematodes. [PDF]
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

ABSTRACT Xenorhabdus species are bacterial symbionts of entomopathogenic Steinernema nematodes, in which they produce diverse secondary metabolites implicated in pathogenesis. To expand resources for natural product prospecting and exploration of host-symbiont-pathogen relationships, the ...

A new recombineering system for Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus [PDF]
Precise and fluent genetic manipulation is still limited to only a few prokaryotes. Ideally the highly advanced technologies available in Escherichia coli could be broadly applied. Our efforts to apply lambda Red technology, widely termed 'recombineering', in Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus yielded only limited success.
