Two novel XRE-like transcriptional regulators control phenotypic heterogeneity in Photorhabdus luminescens cell populations.

BMC microbiology - 25 Feb 2021

Eckstein Simone, Brehm Jannis, Seidel Michael, Lechtenfeld Mats, Heermann Ralf

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The insect pathogenic bacterium Photorhabdus luminescens exists in two phenotypically different forms, designated as primary (1°) and secondary (2°) cells. Upon yet unknown environmental stimuli up to 50% of the 1° cells convert to 2° cells. Among others, one important difference between the phenotypic forms is that 2° cells are unable to live in symbiosis with their partner nematodes, and therefore...
