DOI: 10.1080/21505594.2017.1330240
Abstract: ABSTRACT Previous and recent investigations on the innate immune response of Drosophila have identified certain mechanisms that promote pathogen elimination. However, the function of Thioester-containing proteins (TEPs) in the fly still remains elusive. Recently we… read more here.

Abstract: Two Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacteria, H1T and H3T, isolated from the digestive tract of Heterorhabditis entomopathogenic nematodes were biochemically and molecularly characterized to determine their taxonomic positions. The 16S rRNA gene sequences of these strains indicate… read more here.

Abstract: The resistance-nodulation-division (RND)-type efflux pumps AcrAB and MdtABC contribute to multidrug-resistance (MDR) in Gram-negative bacteria. Photorhabdus is a symbiotic bacterium of soil nematodes that also produces virulence factors killing insects by septicaemia. We previously showed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/1758-2229.13118
Abstract: Photorhabdus, the symbiotic bacteria of Heterorhabditis nematodes, has been reported to possess many non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) biosynthesis gene clusters (BGCs). To provide an in-depth assessment of the non-ribosomal peptide biosynthetic potential of Photorhabdus, we… read more here.
