Article Synopsis
- Entomopathogenic nematodes from the Steinernematidae family can rapidly kill insects, aided by their symbiotic bacteria, making them potential tools for pest control.
- This study focused on sequencing genomes of fourteen strains isolated from nematodes in Argentina, which were all capable of killing specific insect larvae.
- Researchers identified 110 insecticidal proteins and proposed new species within the bacterial genus based on genetic analysis, highlighting the evolutionary diversity and biocidal potential of these nematodes and their associated bacteria.
