Abstract excerpt
Xenorhabdus nematophila is an insect pathogen that forms a symbiotic association with the nematode, Steinernema carpocapsae. Xenorhabdus is carried into the insect host by the nematode, is released into the hemolymph and participates in killing the insect. The bacteria grow to high concentrations supporting the development of the nematode in the hemolymph. OmpR is a global regulatory protein involved in the...
