Abstract excerpt
Photorhabdus luminescens is an insect pathogen associated with specific soil nematodes. The bacterium has a complex life cycle with a symbiotic stage in which bacteria colonize the intestinal tract of the nematodes, and a pathogenic stage against susceptible larval-stage insect. Symbiosis-"deficient" phenotypic variants (known as secondary forms) arise during prolonged incubation. Correspondence analysis of the...
