EXPRESSED SEQUENCE TAG ANALYSIS OF GENE REPRESENTATION IN INSECT PARASITIC NEMATODE HETERORHABDITIS BACTERIOPHORA (2007)

Xiaodong Bai, Parwinder S. Grewal, Saskia A. Hogenhout, Byron J. Adams, Todd A. Ciche, Randy Gaugler, ...

We compared Heterorhabditis bacteriophora GPS11 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) to the ESTs of animal-parasitic, human-parasitic, plant-parasitic, and free-living nematodes. We identified 127...

A Phosphopantetheinyl Transferase Homolog Is Essential for Photorhabdus luminescens To Support Growth and Reproduction of the Entomopathogenic Nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora

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...

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...

Photobactin: a Catechol Siderophore Produced by Photorhabdus luminescens, an Entomopathogen Mutually Associated with Heterorhabditis bacteriophora NC1 Nematodes

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...
