This study shows that the bacterial enzyme HpaBC affects nematode development and behavior by interacting with tyrosine and dopamine, and is necessary for bacterial colonization of the nematode intestine.

The paper presents the genome of Steinernema hermaphroditum and its associated bacteria, revealing gene clusters and a potential second bacterial circle in entomopathogenic nematodes.

The paper identifies novel T11SS cargo proteins across proteobacteria using genomic co-occurrence analysis and validates one novel cargo type experimentally.

This study shows that Xenorhabdus bacteria use phage-related genes to diversify their weaponry and defense systems, enabling competitive interactions with closely related strains.

This study identifies two subspecies of Xenorhabdus griffiniae and shows that prophages drive intraspecies genomic variation.
