Photorhabdus and Xenorhabdus bacteria colonize the intestines of the infective soil‐
dwelling stage of entomophagous nematodes, Heterorhabditis and Steinernema …

Photorhabdus is a member of the family Enterobacteriaceae that lives in a mutualistic
association with a Heterorhabditis nematode worm. The nematode worm burrows into insect …

Photorhabdus luminescens is a symbiont of nematodes and a broad-spectrum insect
pathogen. The complete genome sequence of strain TT01 is 5,688,987 base pairs (bp) long …

Many clinically used drugs are derived from or inspired by bacterial natural products that
often are produced through nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs), megasynthetases …

Pathogenicity and symbiosis are central to bacteria–host interactions. Although several
human pathogens have been subjected to functional genomic analysis, we still understand …

Insects are the largest group of animals on earth. Like mammals, virus, fungi, bacteria and
parasites infect them. Several tissue barriers and defense mechanisms are common for …

The study of bacterial symbionts of eukaryotic hosts has become a powerful discovery
engine for chemistry. This highlight looks at four case studies that exemplify the range of …

Microbial populations stochastically generate variants with strikingly different properties,
such as virulence or avirulence and antibiotic tolerance or sensitivity. Photorhabdus …

Photorhabdus are entomopathogenic members of the family Enterobacteriaceae. In addition
to killing insects Photorhabdus also have a mutualistic association with nematodes from the …
