expression of heterorhabditis bacteriophora c-type lectins, hb-clec-1 and hb-clec-78, in context of symbiosis with photorhabdus bacteria

Answer»

Insect-parasitic nematodes of  GENUS Heterorhabditis live in the SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP with a gram-negative Gamma-proteobacteria of the genus Photorhabdus.

The nematode-bacteria pair is a simple and genetically tractable mock up to study animal-microbe symbiosis.

Here we investigated the role of Heterorhabditis nematode C-type lectin (clec) genes in the context of nematode-bacteria symbiosis.

The in silico analysis identified seven clec genes in H. bacteriophora and three clec genes in H. INDICA.
