Entomopathogenic Nematode Genome Consortium: Sequencing and Annotation of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Project Summary: This project aims to sequence the genome of the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora strain TTO1
Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Project Summary: This project aims to sequence the genome of the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora strain TTO1 as a representative of 45 other species that are used as biological control agents for insect pests worldwide. This nematode is closely related to the two already sequenced free-living nematodes, Caenorhabditis elegans and C. briggsae...
متن کاملComparative analysis of the expressed genome of the infective juvenile entomopathogenic nematode, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora.
We report the first cDNA-sequencing project of the entomopathogenic nematode, Heterorhabditis bacteriophora. A total of 1246 expressed sequence tags (ESTs) were generated by random sequencing of clones from a cDNA library of the infective juvenile stage. The ESTs were annotated resulting in 1072 useful ESTs that were categorized into functional categories according to Kyoto Encyclopedia of Gene...
متن کاملA Lover and a Fighter: The Genome Sequence of an Entomopathogenic Nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora
Heterorhabditis bacteriophora are entomopathogenic nematodes that have evolved a mutualism with Photorhabdus luminescens bacteria to function as highly virulent insect pathogens. The nematode provides a safe harbor for intestinal symbionts in soil and delivers the symbiotic bacteria into the insect blood. The symbiont provides virulence and toxins, metabolites essential for nematode reproductio...
متن کاملEnvironmental factors affecting sexual differentiation in the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora.
The present study was aimed at determining the influence of various environmental factors on sex differentiation (SD) in the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora HP88 strain, under in vivo and in vitro culture conditions. Injection of individual nematodes into last instars of Galleria mellonella resulted in development of a similar number of females and hermaphrodites (35-40%...
متن کاملA Phosphopantetheinyl transferase homolog is essential for Photorhabdus luminescens to support growth and reproduction of the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora.
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 substrate for growth and reproduction. The nematodes do not grow and reproduce in insect hosts or on artificial media in the absence of viable P. luminescens cells. In an effort to identify bacterial fact...
