The exbD gene of Photorhabdus temperata is required for full virulence in insects and symbiosis with the nematode Heterorhabditis.

Abstract excerpt

Photorhabdus are bacteria found colonizing the gut of a specialized stage of the nematode Heterorhabditis, called the infective juvenile (IJ). The IJ is a free-living stage of the nematode that seeks out and infects insect larvae. Once inside the insect the IJ release Photorhabdus into the haemolymph where the bacteria rapidly proliferate, killing the insect within 48-72 h. The nematodes grow and reproduce in the...
