Entomopathogenic nematode-associated microbiota: from monoxenic paradigm to pathobiome
Background The holistic view of bacterial symbiosis, incorporating both host and microbial environment, constitutes a major conceptual shift in studies deciphering host-microbe interactions. Interactions between Steinernema entomopathogenic nematodes and

Toxicity of Irradiated Media for Xenorhabdus spp [PDF]
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.

Peptides as a Therapeutic Alternative Against Leishmaniasis: A Scoping Review
This scoping review of 79 studies identified 231 antimicrobial peptides with anti‐Leishmania activity, including natural‐derived and synthetic peptides (inspired by natural sources or developed through rational design). Most were evaluated in vitro against promastigote and/or amastigote forms, with synthetic peptides showing a more promising effect ...

Background Aedes aegypti is a potential vector of West Nile, Japanese encephalitis, chikungunya, dengue and Zika viruses. Alternative control measurements of the vector are needed to overcome the problems of environmental contamination and chemical ...

Cytotoxic Fatty Acid Amides from Xenorhabdus [PDF]
by X. doucetiae revealed the presence of several similar amide derivatives. Unfortunately, most of these compounds are only produced in very small amounts but they could be easily synthesised. Thus, we tried to elucidate their structure without actually isolating them by following their chemical synthesis in order to obtain enough for bioactivity ...

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

Characterization of Xenorhabdus (γ-Proteobacteria) strains associated bacteria with the Steinernema (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) isolates from Iran [PDF]
The gram-negative bacterium Xenorhabdus is mutualistically associated with entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema. Three bacterial strains were isolated from the entomopathogenic nematodes, Steinernema glaseri (Steiner) and S.

A New Member of the Growing Family of Contact-Dependent Growth Inhibition Systems in Xenorhabdus doucetiae. [PDF]
Xenorhabdus is a bacterial symbiont of entomopathogenic Steinernema nematodes and is pathogenic for insects. Its life cycle involves a stage inside the insect cadaver, in which it competes for environmental resources with microorganisms from soil and the

The microbiome profile of freshwater sponges did not broadly change in taxonomy or functional profile based on metatranscriptome analysis prior to and after formation of sponge dormant bodies (gemmules). Results highlight a subset of taxa that likely associate with the sponge host in different ways from facultative to long‐term symbionts.
