Bioluminescence of the insect pathogen Xenorhabdus luminescens [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1989 Luminescence of batch cultures of Xenorhabdus luminescens was maximal when cultures approached stationary phase; the onset of in vivo luminescence coincided with a burst of synthesis of bacterial luciferase, the enzyme responsible for luminescence.

A Non-luminescent Strain of Xenorhabdus luminescens (Enterobacteriaceae) [PDF]
Microbiology, 1986 Summary: The first case of a non-luminescent symbiont of a Heterorhabditis sp. is reported. The bacterium, isolated from a previously unknown species of Heterorhabditis, was identified as a biovar of Xenorhabdus luminescens. Ultrastructural study of the bacterium revealed membranous and crystalline inclusions comparable with those of luminescent ...

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.
