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. |
