Beschreibungen/Notizen

• A Gram-negative bacterium, Xenorhabdus nematophilus, is mutualistically associated with entomopathogenic nematode, Steinernema carpocapsae. A bacterial isolate was obtained from the nematode collected in Korea and identified as X. nematophilus K1 (Park et al., 1999). This study was focused on the characterization of the bacterial isolate by 16S ribosomal RNA gene (rDNA) sequence, fatty acid composition, carbon source utility, and insecticidal activity that were compared with those of other related bacteria. The universal ribosomal primers were used to amplify 1,536 bp rDNA.
