Isolation and Identification of Seven Symbiotic Bacteria from Local Entomopathogenic Nematodes

Abstract:

The symbiotic bacterium exists in the intestines of entomopathogenic nematodes and is a potential biological agent. Systematic classification of these bacteria is scarce in China. In this paper, seven strains of symbiotic bacteria from local entomopathogenic nematodes were identified by both observation of morphology, physiological, biochemical characteristics and sequence analysis of 16S rDNA fragments.
