Differential Regulation of Immune Signaling and Survival Response in Drosophila melanogaster Larvae upon Steinernema carpocapsae Nematode Infection

Insects, 2018
Drosophila melanogaster is an excellent model to dissect the molecular components and pathways of the innate anti-pathogen immune response. The nematode parasite Steinernema carpocapsae and its mutualistic bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila form a complex

Antifungal activity of Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus against aerial and soilborne grapevine pathogens: varying efficiencies and non-target effects

Biological Control
The extensive use of fungicides raises significant environmental and health concerns, including biodiversity loss and risks to agricultural workers, while the emergence of new fungal diseases exacerbates reliance on these chemical agents. Recent research

Investigation of the Odilorhabdin Biosynthetic Gene Cluster Using NRPS Engineering

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 136, Issue 33, August 12, 2024.
The biosynthesis of the odilorhabdin biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) was elucidated by engineering of the central non‐ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS). Therefore, specific modules of the odilorhabdin synthetase were assembled to well‐studied NRPS systems, which resulted in small and non‐toxic NRPS test systems.

A systematic review on research trends and commercialised entomopathogenic nematodes: A global perspective

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.

Characterization of Xenorhabdus (γ-Proteobacteria) strains associated bacteria with the Steinernema (Nematoda: Steinernematidae) isolates from Iran [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2011
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.

Comparative analysis of P2-type remnant prophage loci in Xenorhabdus bovienii and Xenorhabdus nematophila required for xenorhabdicin production [PDF]

FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2012
The xnp1 remnant P2-type prophage of Xenorhabdus nematophila produces xenorhabdicin that is active against closely related species. Xenorhabdicin had not been characterized previously in other Xenorhabdus species. Here, we show xenorhabdicin production in six different strains of Xenorhabdus bovienii. The sequenced genome of X.

Nutribloods: Novel synthetic lepidopteran haemolymphs for understanding insect–microbe nutritional interactions in vitro

Physiological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 264-276, September 2025.
We design 20 cell‐free ‘nutribloods’ based on the known composition of Spodoptera littoralis haemolymph for insects fed on 20 chemically defined diets varying in protein and carbohydrate levels. We then compared the growth of the blood‐borne insect bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila in these 20 nutribloods.

FliZ is a global regulatory protein affecting the expression of flagellar and virulence genes in individual Xenorhabdus nematophila bacterial cells. [PDF]

PLoS Genet, 2013
Heterogeneity in the expression of various bacterial genes has been shown to result in the presence of individuals with different phenotypes within clonal bacterial populations.

Anti-Trypanosoma activity of bioactive metabolites from Photorhabdus luminescens and Xenorhabdus nematophila

Experimental Parasitology, 2019
Only two drugs are currently available for the treatment of Chagas disease and their effectiveness are unsatisfactory. Photorhabdus luminescens and Xenorhabdus nematophila, two enteric bacteria highly pathogenic to a broad range of insects, have been studied as potential source for bioactive metabolites against protozoa causing neglected tropical ...

Rekombination hybrider Megasynthasen als Schlüssel für die Evolution metabolischer Diversität in Cyanobakterien

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 137, Issue 26, June 24, 2025.
Natürliche Kombinatorik: Die evolutionäre Rekombination und Anpassung von drei cyanobakteriellen Biosynthese‐Genclustern führte zur Entstehung von Minutumamiden, einer neuen Familie von Peptid‐Polyketid‐Hybriden. Mittels retro‐evolutionärer Analyse gelang die Entdeckung des Nostopeptolids KVJ3, einem evolutionären Vorfahren, der die Biosynthese von ...
