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.

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.

Microbiology Resource Announcements, 2023 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 ...

Uncovering Nematicidal Natural Products from Xenorhabdus Bacteria
, 2022 Parasitic nematodes infect different species of animals and plants. Root-knot nematodes are members of the genus Meloidogyne, which is distributed worldwide and parasitizes numerous plants, including vegetables, fruits, and crops.

Plasmids and phase variation in Xenorhabdus spp [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1991 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.

Parasites & Vectors, 2020 The control of insects of medical importance, such as Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus are still the only effective way to prevent the transmission of diseases, such as dengue, chikungunya and Zika.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 The importance of Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus symbionts to their respective Steinernema and Heterorhabditis nematode hosts is that they not only contribute to their entomopathogenicity but also to their fecundity through the production of small ...

A new recombineering system for Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2014 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.

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Entomopathogenic nematodes of the genus Steinernema have a mutualistic relationship with bacteria of the genus Xenorhabdus and together they form an antagonist partnership against their insect hosts. The nematodes (third-stage infective juveniles, or IJs)

Virulence and pathogen multiplication: a serial passage experiment in the hypervirulent bacterial insect-pathogen Xenorhabdus nematophila. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The trade-off hypothesis proposes that the evolution of pathogens' virulence is shaped by a link between virulence and contagiousness. This link is often assumed to come from the fact that pathogens are contagious only if they can reach high parasitic ...
