Figure 4From: Identification of genes involved in the mutualistic colonization of the nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora by the bacterium Photorhabdus luminescensVirulence of P. luminescens to insect larvae. TT01gfp and mutant strains were grown overnight in LB broth at 30°C and diluted in PBS so that approximately 200 cfu were injected into each of 10 final-instar G. mellonella larvae. The insects were incubated at 25°C and insect death was monitored over the next 72 hours. In each graph the virulence of the mutant (■) is compared to TT01gfp (□). The results shown are of a representative experiment that was independently repeated at least 3 times.Back to article page
