{"product_id":"9783319527147","title":"The Molecular Biology of Photorhabdus Bacteria (Current Topics in Microbiology and Immunology) \u003cVol. 402\u003e","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides an essential update on the startling array of novel insecticidal toxins and drugs produced by the fascinating bacterium \u003ci\u003ePhotorhabdus\u003c\/i\u003e. The respective chapters describe everything from the detailed molecular biology of the 'Toxin complexes' or Tc's to the complexity of insect immune response in relation to both the bacterium and its nematode vector. The volume covers both primary (toxin production and regulation) and secondary (natural product synthesis and regulation) metabolism and emphasises the potential use of toxins and drugs in both agriculture and medicine. It also discusses in detail two totally novel quorum sensing mechanisms and the likely role of LuxR solos in sensing the presence of different bacterial hosts. Lastly, the book explores the unique case of \u003ci\u003eP. asymbiotica\u003c\/i\u003e, which seems to have evolved the ability to infect both insects and humans. This synthesis proves that \u003ci\u003ePhotorhabdus\u003c\/i\u003e truly does offer a 'gold mine' for the discovery ofnovel insecticidal proteins and novel natural products with potential uses in agriculture and medicine alike.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInsecticidal Toxin complexes from \u003ci\u003ePhotorhabdus luminescens.- \u003c\/i\u003eIdentifying anti-host effectors in \u003ci\u003ePhotorhabdus.- \u003c\/i\u003eFlagellar regulation and virulence in the entomopathogenic bacteria \u003ci\u003eXenorhabdus nematophila\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePhotorhabdus luminescens.- \u003c\/i\u003eNatural products from \u003ci\u003ePhotorhabdus\u003c\/i\u003e and other entomopathogenic bacteria.- The regulation of secondary metabolism in \u003ci\u003ePhotorhabdus.- \u003c\/i\u003eQuorum sensing and LuxR solos in \u003ci\u003ePhotorhabdus.- \u003c\/i\u003eInsect immunity to entomopathogenic nematodes and their mutualistic bacteria.- \u003ci\u003ePhotorhabdus asymbiotica\u003c\/i\u003e as an insect and human pathogen.- A review of clinical cases of infection with \u003ci\u003ePhotorhabdus asymbiotica.- \u003c\/i\u003eA Practical Guide to Recombineering in \u003ci\u003ePhotorhabdus\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eXenorhabdus.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45533620666447,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":7000.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0672\/9174\/2287\/files\/9783319527147-1.jpg?v=1783325558","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/products\/9783319527147","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
