Insect-parasitic nematodes of genus Heterorhabditis live in the symbiotic relationship with a gram-negative Gamma-proteobacteria of the genus Photorhabdus.
The nematode-bacteria pair is a simple and genetically tractable mock up to study animal-microbe symbiosis.
Here we investigated the role of Heterorhabditis nematode C-type lectin (clec) genes in the context of nematode-bacteria symbiosis.
The in silico analysis identified seven clec genes in H. bacteriophora and three clec genes in H. indica.
