Anaerobic metabolism of primary and secondary forms of Photorhabdus luminescens (1996)
Rosner, Bettina M., Ensign, Jerald C., Schink, Bernhard
An oxygen electrode inserted into a dead Manduca sexta larva infected with Heterorhabditis nematodes carrying the bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens showed barely detectable levels of oxygen in a 1...
Bowen, David J., Ensign, Jerald C.
Cells of the entomopathogenic bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens contain two types of morphologically distinct crystalline inclusion proteins. The larger rectangular inclusion (type 1) and a smaller...
Ciche, Todd A., Bintrim, Scott B., Horswill, Alexander R., Ensign, Jerald C.
The bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens is a symbiont of the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora. The nematode requires the bacterium for infection of insect larvae and as a...
Bowen, David J., Ensign, Jerald C.
Photorhabdus luminescens is a gram-negative enteric bacterium that is found in association with entomopathogenic nematodes of the family Heterorhabditidae. The nematodes infect a variety of...
Bintrim, Scott B., Ensign, Jerald C.
The entomopathogenic bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens exhibits phase variation when cultured in vitro. The variant forms of P. luminescens are pleiotropic and are designated phase I and phase II...
For the Insect Pathogen Photorhabdus luminescens, Which End of a Nematode Is Out?
Ciche, Todd A., Ensign, Jerald C.
The nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora is the vector for transmitting the entomopathogenic bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens between insect larvae. The dauer juvenile (DJ) stage nematode...
Ciche, Todd A., Blackburn, Michael, Carney, John R., Ensign, Jerald C.
The nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora transmits a monoculture of Photorhabdus luminescens bacteria to insect hosts, where it requires the bacteria for efficient insect pathogenicity and as a...
Viability and Endogenous Substrates Used During Starvation Survival of Rhodospirillum rubrum†
Breznak, John A., Potrikus, C. J., Pfennig, Norbert, Ensign, Jerald C.
Cells of Rhodospirillum rubrum were grown photoorganotrophically and chemoorganotrophically and then starved for organic carbon and combined nitrogen under four conditions: anaerobically in the light...
Long-Term Starvation Survival of Rod and Spherical Cells of Arthrobacter crystallopoietes
Spherical and rod-shaped cells of Arthrobacter crystallopoietes, harvested during exponential growth, were subjected to total starvation for periods of time as long as 80 days. Viability measurements...
Boylen, Charles W., Ensign, Jerald C.
Cells of Arthrobacter crystallopoietes, harvested during growth as spheres and as rods, were starved by shaking at 30 C in phosphate buffer for 30 days, during which time they maintained 100%...
Krulwich, Terry A., Ensign, Jerald C., Tipper, Donald J., Strominger, Jack L.
Cell walls of Arthrobacter crystallopoietes were prepared from cells grown as spheres and from peptone- and succinate-induced rod stage cells. Undegraded polysaccharide backbones of the...
Krulwich, Terry A., Ensign, Jerald C., Tipper, Donald J., Strominger, Jack L.
Cell walls of Arthrobacter crystallopoietes grown as spheres and as rods were solubilized by treatment with the B enzyme from Chalaropsis, an N-acetylmuramidase. The neutral glycopeptides were then...
Boylen, Charles W., Ensign, Jerald C.
Cell walls were isolated from cells of Bacillus subtilis strain Marburg during synchronous outgrowth of spores, during the two synchronous cell divisions which followed, and at various times during...
Kingan, Steven L., Ensign, Jerald C.
Cells of Bacillus thuringiensis containing refractile spores autolyzed readily when suspended in buffer. The autolysate contained enzymes which lysed vegetative cell walls of the organism. Three...
