Toxicity of Irradiated Media for Xenorhabdus spp [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1990 Bacterial isolates of the genus Xenorhabdus were shown to be extremely sensitive to photoproducts produced in a number of common media irradiated by fluorescent light. Two forms of toxic oxygen, hydrogen peroxide and superoxide radical, were produced in the media upon exposure to fluorescent light.

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.Out of 136 identified EPNs, only 18 (8 Steinernema and 6 Heterorhabditis) are commercialised globally, highlighting a major gap between discovery and application. High production costs and inconsistent field efficacy are the leading obstacles to the widespread commercialisation of EPN‐based biocontrol products.

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 4, Page 3427-3438, April 2026.Entomopathogenic nematodes provide reliable biological control of vine weevil larvae, reducing populations by 63% on average. All five tested species are effective, with temperature (18–30 °C) being the strongest predictor of success. Abstract BACKGROUND Vine weevil (Otiorhynchus sulcatus) is a globally important pest of soft fruit and ornamental crops

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2021 Species from the genus Xenorhabdus, endosymbiotic bacteria of Steinernema nematodes, produce several antibacterial and antifungal compounds, some of which are anti-parasitic. In this study, we report on the effect growth conditions have on the production

Colonial and Cellular Polymorphism in Xenorhabdus luminescens [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1989 A highly polymorphic Xenorhabdus luminescens strain was isolated. The primary form of X. luminescens was luminescent and nonswarming and produced a yellow pigment and antimicrobial substances.

Comparative Analysis of Xenorhabdus koppenhoeferi Gene Expression during Symbiotic Persistence in the Host Nematode. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Species of Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus bacteria form mutualistic associations with Steinernema and Heterorhabditis nematodes, respectively and serve as model systems for studying microbe-animal symbioses. Here, we profiled gene expression of Xenorhabdus

Molecular basis of antibiotic sensing by the TetR family regulator CecR – a structural perspective
The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1801-1817, March 2026.Escherichia coli CecR, a member of the TetR family regulators, senses selected antibiotics and activates the expression of a putative drug efflux pump. Although present in many pathogenic Enterobacteriales strains, CecR remains poorly characterized. We present the first CecR crystal structure, which reveals a unique tunnel‐like ligand‐binding cavity ...

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.

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 1, February 2026.Metatranscriptomic analysis of Centaurea cyanus revealed diverse plant‐associated viral and bacterial sequences in herbicide‐susceptible and ‐resistant biotypes. While novel partitiviruses occurred independently of resistance status, differences in bacterial community composition may suggest a potential role of the plant microbiome in responses to ...
