Vitamin B 6 is one of the most central molecules in cells of living organisms. It is a critical co-
factor for a diverse range of biochemical reactions that regulate basic cellular metabolism …

Beneficial associations with bacteria are widespread across animals, spanning a range of
symbiont localizations, transmission routes, and functions. While some of these associations …

Members of the genus Xenorhabdus are entomopathogenic bacteria that associate with
nematodes. The nematode-bacteria pair infects and kills insects, with both partners …

Heterorhabditis bacteriophora are entomopathogenic nematodes that have evolved a
mutualism with Photorhabdus luminescens bacteria to function as highly virulent insect …

Microbial populations stochastically generate variants with strikingly different properties,
such as virulence or avirulence and antibiotic tolerance or sensitivity. Photorhabdus …

Nematodes are ubiquitous organisms that have a significant global impact on ecosystems,
economies, agriculture, and human health. The applied importance of nematodes and the …

Different model systems have, over the years, contributed to our current understanding of the
molecular mechanisms underpinning the various types of interaction between bacteria and …

The western corn rootworm (WCR) decimates maize crops worldwide. One potential way to
control this pest is treatment with entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) that harbor bacterial …

Enormous efforts have been made to understand the functions of bioluminescence;
however, its relevance in soil ecosystems has barely been investigated. In addition, our …

The integration of chemical ecology and bacterial genome mining can enhance the
discovery of structurally diverse natural products in functional contexts. By examining …
