A 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 کاملEntomopathogenic 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 کاملDraft Genome Sequence and Assembly of Photorhabdus heterorhabditis Strain VMG, a Bacterial Symbiont Associated with the Entomopathogenic Nematode Heterorhabditis zealandica
Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Photorhabdus heterorhabditis strain VMG, a symbiont of the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis zealandica in South Africa. The draft genome sequence is 4,878,919 bp long and contains 4,023 protein-coding genes. The genome assembly contains 262 contigs with a G+C content of 42.22%.
متن کاملa study of a native isolate of an entomopathogenic nematode, heterorhabditis bacteriophora and its symbiont, photorhabdus luminecens subsp. laumondii
entomoparasitic nematodes (epn) are among the very important pest control agents. among the related groups within these nematodes, two families namely steinernematidae and heterorhabditidae are more important than the others. due to commercial application of these agents in pest control, extensive research has been carried out to identify the different species of these nematodes throughout the ...
