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 کاملCryopreservation of Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora.
A method for the cryopreservation of third-stage infective juveniles (IJ) of Steinernema carpocapsae and Heterorhabiditis bacteriophora was developed. Cryoprotection was achieved by incubating the nematodes in 22% glycerol (S. carpocapsae) or 14% glycerol (H. bacteriophora) for 24 hours, followed by 70% methanol at 0 C for 10 minutes. The viability of S. carpocapsae frozen in liquid nitrogen as...
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 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 کاملInfluence of Irrigation and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora on Plant-parasitic Nematodes in Turf.
Daily irrigated, 80% pan replacement, and nonirrigated field plots of Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) were inoculated with a mixture of Steinernema carpocapsae (All strain) and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora (HP-88 strain) in 1988. In 1989, daily irrigated and nonirrigated plots were inoculated with HP-88 alone. The turf and associated soil contained populations of Tylenchorhynchus dubius,...
