is known to be a potent biological agent that can kill insects by overcoming
their immune responses. The bacterium also secretes
a range of antibiotics and antioxidants to suppress the growth
of other invading microorganisms and to support nematode
survival. Photorhabdus spp. genomes have been sequenced,
and analyses revealed that nearly 6% of the genomes are
predicted to be involved in the production of secondary metabolitesmetabolites
