Characterization of the pixB gene in Xenorhabdus nematophila and discovery of a new gene family.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Apr 2018

Lucas John, Goetsch Mary, Fischer Matt, Forst Steven

Abstract excerpt

Xenorhabdus nematophila are Gram-negative bacteria that engage in mutualistic associations with entomopathogenic nematodes. To reproduce, the nematodes invade insects and release X. nematophila into the haemolymph where it functions as an insect pathogen. In complex medium, X. nematophila cells produce two distinct types of intracellular crystalline inclusions, one composed of the methionine-rich PixA protein and...
