简介:用定序技术的16SrDNA基因,entomopatho遗传因子的线虫(杀虫剂的一种)的非共生的细菌的三不同的种(Steinernemasp。并且Heterorhabditissp)从感染的昆虫死尸被孤立并且识别{街郎mellonella幼虫)在48小时的柱子感染以后。顺序类似分析表明紧张SRK3,SRK4和SRK5分别地属于Ochrobactrumcytisi,Schineria幼虫和Ochrobactrumanthropi。isolatesO。anthropi和S。幼虫被发现分别地,而,与Heterorhabditisindica紧张BDU-17和Yer-136被联系O。cytisi与Steinernemasiamkayai紧张BDU-87被联系。Phenotypically,时间的杀虫剂的一种细菌是相当与共生杀虫剂的一种细菌(Photorhabdus和Xenorhabdus类)有关。紧张SRK3和SRK5phylogeographically类似于几非共生者并且污染了在德国(LMG3311T)和中国(X-14)孤立的杀虫剂的一种细菌,当紧张SRK4与S的isolates相同时。从在匈牙利的Wohlfahrtiamagnifica的幼虫(Ll/57,Ll/58,Ll/68和L2/11)。结果被RNA第二等的结构和排列序列的最小的精力计算进一步证实。这研究建议这些线虫的非共生者phylogeographically由于阶段变化在某程度被分叉。因此,这些紧张不是主人依赖者,但是环境特定孤立。
