Type 1 fimbriae of insecticidal bacterium Xenorhabdus nematophila is necessary for growth and colonization of its symbiotic host nematode Steinernema carpocapsiae.

Abstract excerpt

Xenorhabdus nematophila produces type 1 fimbriae on the surface of Phase I cells. Fimbriae mediate recognition and adhesion of the bacteria to its target cell. To investigate the role of fimbriae in the biology of X. nematophila, we have produced a fimbrial mutant strain by insertional inactivation of the mrxA gene, encoding the structural subunit of type 1 fimbriae. Phenotypic characterization of the mutant...
