| two new subspecies of photorhabdus luminescens, isolated from heterorhabditis bacteriophora (nematoda: heterorhabditidae): photorhabdus luminescens subsp. kayaii subsp. nov. and photorhabdus luminescens subsp. thracensis subsp. nov. | bacterial isolates from nematodes from turkish soil samples were initially characterized by molecular methods and seven members of the genus photorhabdus identified to the species level, using riboprint analyses and metabolic properties. strain 07-5 (dsm 15195) was highly related to the type strain of photorhabdus luminescens subsp. laumondii dsm 15139t, and was regarded a strain of this subspecies. strains 1121t (dsm 15194t), 68-3 (dsm 15198) and 47-10 (dsm 15197) formed one, strain 39-8t (dsm ... | 2004 | 15053319 |
| the first record of entomopathogenic nematodes (rhabiditiae: steinernematidae and heterorhabditidae) in natural ecosystems in lebanon: a biogeographic approach in the mediterranean region. | a survey of entomopathogenic nematodes in lebanon was conducted for the first time during 2008-2009. samples were collected on the coastal strip and in nine vegetation types extending from the coastal line to 3088m above sea level. wooded and herbaceous ecosystems were considered for sampling purposes. a total of 570 samples were taken, out of which 1% were positive for entomopathogenic nematodes. approximately, 15.8% out of the 19 sites sampled revealed entomopathogenic nematodes presence (repr ... | 2011 | 21241704 |
