The Entomopathogenic Bacterial Endosymbionts Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus: Convergent Lifestyles from Divergent Genomes [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Members of the genus Xenorhabdus are entomopathogenic bacteria that associate with nematodes. The nematode-bacteria pair infects and kills insects, with both partners contributing to insect pathogenesis and the bacteria providing nutrition to the ...

Friend and foe: the two faces of Xenorhabdus nematophila
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2007Comparisons of mutualistic and pathogenic relationships are necessary to decipher the common language of microorganism-host interactions, as well as the subtle differences in dialect that distinguish types of symbiosis. One avenue towards making such comparisons is to study a single organism that speaks both dialects, such as the gamma-proteobacterium ...

Novel insecticidal chitinase from the insect pathogen Xenorhabdus nematophila
International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2020Xenorhabdus nematophila strain ATCC 19061 is an insect pathogen that produces various protein toxins which intoxicate and kill its larval host. In the present study, we have described the cloning, expression and characterization of a 76-kDa chitinase protein of X. nematophila.

They’ve got a ticket to ride: Xenorhabdus nematophila–Steinernema carpocapsae symbiosis
Current Opinion in Microbiology, 2007The association between the bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila and the nematode Steinernema carpocapsae is emerging as a model system to understand mutually beneficial symbioses. X. nematophila, but not other Xenorhabdus species, colonize a discrete region of a specific developmental stage of S. carpocapsae nematodes.

Xenortide Biosynthesis by Entomopathogenic Xenorhabdus nematophila
Journal of Natural Products, 2014The biosynthesis gene cluster of the xenortides and a new derivative, xenortide D, which is produced in only trace amounts, was identified in Xenorhabdus nematophila. The structure of xenortide D was elucidated using a combination of labeling experiments followed by MS analysis and was confirmed by synthesis.

Characterization of a cytotoxic pilin subunit of Xenorhabdus nematophila
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2004Xenorhabdus nematophila is an insect pathogenic bacterium, known to produce protein toxins that kill the larval host. We have described a cytotoxic pilin subunit of X. nematophila, which is expressed on the cell surface and also secreted in the extracellular medium associated with outer membrane vesicles. A 17kDa pilin subunit was isolated and purified

Enhanced antibiotic activity of Xenorhabdus nematophila by medium optimization
Bioresource Technology, 2008Nutrition had highly influence on the antibiotic production by Xenorhabdus nematophila YL001. Glucose and peptone were identified as the best carbon and nitrogen sources that significantly affected antibiotic production using one-factor-at-a-time approach.

TAome analysis of type-II toxin-antitoxin system from Xenorhabdus nematophila
Computational Biology and Chemistry, 2018Here we report the first essentially complete TAome analysis for type II toxin-antitoxin (TA) system, a major class of TA modules found in bacterial system, from entomopathogenic bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila ATCC 19061 (NCBI RefSeq NC_014228). We summarize this analysis in terms of TA locus, accession identifier, hits in conserved domain database,

Characteristics and Function of the Chitin Binding Protein from Xenorhabdus nematophila
Protein & Peptide Letters, 2019Background: Genome sequence analysis (GenBank access No.: FN667742.1) shows that Xenorhabdus nematophila ATCC19061 contains one gene (Xn-cbp) encoding chitin binding protein (Xn-CBP). Objective: The present work aims to clarify the characteristics and function of Xn-CBP from X. nematophila HB310.
