Example: Characterization and phylogenetic relationships of Photorhabdus sp. (Gamma-Proteobacteria: Enterobacteriaceae) the bacterial symbiont of Heterorhabditis sonorensis (Nematoda: Heterorhabditidae). Rousel A. Orozco1,2 and S. Patricia Stock2. 1Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, 2 Department of Entomology, University of Arizona, Tucson AZ 85721, USA.
Photorhabdus (Enterobacteriaceae) is a gram-negative bacterium that has a mutualistic association with entomopathogenic nematodes in the family Heterorhabditidae. Bacterial symbionts are harbored inside the intestinal lumen of the nematode of the third-stage infective juveniles, which vector the bacteria from one insect host to another. The bacteria are released by the nematodes into the insect hemocoel and kill insect host by septicemia in 24-48 h. The bacterium produces toxins and secondary compounds which provide an ideal environment for nematode reproduction and growth. Accurate identification and characterization of bacterial symbionts and their nematode hosts is essential to develop a more efficient utilization of this nematode-bacteria complex in insect pest management, as well to understanding of symbiotic interactions between these two mutualistic partners. In this study, we characterized the bacterial symbiont of Heterorhabditis sonorensis (strains CH35 and Caborca) a recently discovered entomopathogenic nematode species from the Sonoran desert. Molecular techniques considering a multigene approach (16S rRNA, gyrB, SerC, RecA sequences) were considered to characterize and assess evolutionary relationships of the new Photorhabdus strains with other members of this genus. Additionally, phenotypic tests were carried out to characterize these two bacterial strains. The deadline for registration and request for funding is June 1st 2011
We will be able to provide support for travel and accommodations to up to 20 participants. The level of support will vary, depending on the amount requested by each participant and NEMASYM funds available. Funding priority will be given to students, postdocs and core participants who will give an oral presentation at the meeting or present a poster at the SON meeting. For international core-participants, NEMASYM-RCN will be able to provide support towards expenses incurred in US, including per diem and accommodations and the US portion of your travel. Participants will be reimbursed in the form of a “stipend” upon attendance to the meeting. Those requesting funding support must submit an abstract at the time of the request. Please fill in the registration form , providing complete information. Submit the registration form together with a budget request and a one-page biosketch to Patricia Stock at: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it SON (Society of Nematologists) has booked a number of rooms at Oregon State University’s headquarter hotel, the Hilton Garden Inn, at a special group rate of $104 per night.
