Abstract excerpt
The nematode-bacterium complex of Heterorhabditis-Photorhabdus is pathogenic to insect larvae. The bacteria undergo a form of phenotypic switching whereby the primary form, at the stationary phase of the growth cycle, makes a range of products and has the capacity to support nematode growth, whereas the secondary form does not express these phenotypes. The work described here investigated the mechanism regulating...
