Bacteria from the Midgut of Common Cockchafer (<i>Melolontha melolontha</i> L.) Larvae Exhibiting Antagonistic Activity Against Bacterial Symbionts of Entomopathogenic Nematodes: Isolation and Molecular Identification

Bacteria from the Midgut of Common Cockchafer (<i>Melolontha melolontha</i> L.) Larvae Exhibiting Antagonistic Activity Against Bacterial Symbionts of Entomopathogenic Nematodes: Isolation and Molecular Identification

The mechanisms of action of the complex including entomopathogenic nematodes of the genera <i>Steinernema</i> and <i>Heterorhabditis</i> and their mutualistic partners, i.e., bacteria <i>Xenorhabdus</i> and <i>Photorhabdus</i>, have been well explained...
