This study characterizes a native Heterorhabditis indica-Photorhabdus akhurstii complex and identifies virulence factors contributing to its insecticidal activity against Spodoptera species.

This study identifies extracellular proteins in Bacillus toyonensis Bto_UNVM-42 that may contribute to its nematicidal activity against C. elegans.

The paper compares genomic data of four closely related Xenorhabdus bovienii isolates to assess their genomic conservation and microdiversification.

This study characterizes the genome and functional traits of Bacillus sp. strain Bva_UNVM-123, revealing resistance to antibiotics and heavy metals and low pathogenicity.

The paper conducts a 16S rRNA metagenomic analysis of soil samples from agroecosystems in North-Central Argentina, identifying dominant bacterial phyla and analyzing agronomically relevant genera.

This study compares bacterial communities in two compost-bedded pack barns in Argentina using 16S rRNA gene sequencing, finding differences in community composition linked to management practices.

The paper identifies Bacillus toyonensis biovar Thuringiensis as a potential entomopathogen capable of producing insecticidal crystals, challenging previous classifications of related strains.
