a
The bacterial Xenorhabdus species and strain or isolate, the nematode symbiont Steinernema species, source of nematode and bacterium (the individuals who provided the nematode and bacterium), geographic origin of the nematode, and EMBL accession number of 16S rRNA gene are shown (18a).
b
For further information about the bacterial strains, see “Bacterial strains and cell culturing conditions” in Materials and Methods. The numbers after the slashes indicate the phenotypic variants (2, 7-9). Isolates are shown within double quotation marks. Type strains are indicated by a superscript T. DSM, Deutsche Sammlung von Mikroorganismen und Zellkulturen.
