Nematode Companion Microorganisms Breaking down Phytochemical Defenses

The rapid spread of nematode disease, which is increasing year by year, has made it one of the most serious agricultural pests in the country, and its control is urgent. The evolution of its companion microbial communities may be one of the main reasons for the differences in the pathogenicity of different strains of nematodes. It is essential to clarify the species and dominant species of nematode companion microorganisms and to investigate the role of companion microorganisms in the pathogenesis process to promote their use in the biological control of nematode disease.

Lifeasible is a leading provider of comprehensive, high-quality services for plant sciences. We provide analysis services for nematode companion microorganisms for research purposes to customers worldwide. We look forward to working with our customers to discover the secrets of life sciences.

Degradation of Reactive Oxygen Species

• Nematode companion microorganisms can break down plant chemical defense substances, eliminating the inhibitory effect of host defense products on nematodes, thus contributing to nematode pathogenesis. Thereby contributing to the nematogenic effect of the nematode.

• Lifeasible helps analyze nematode companion microorganisms of Serratia spp., which are highly resistant to reactive oxygen species, promote nematode reproduction under strong reactive oxygen stress conditions, and affect the expression of nematode peroxidase genes.
• We also offer analysis services for Pseudomonas yamanorum and P. extremaustralis, whose genomes contain many genes encoding reactive oxygen stress-related enzymes such as catalase, peroxidase, redox protein, and glutathione S-transferase, which can help nematodes to resist reactive oxygen toxicity.
• Similarly, our list of services includes the analysis of Pseudomonas fluorescens and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, which enhance the antioxidant capacity of nematodes and reduce the reactive oxygen species content in the host by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes and enhancing the ability of nematodes to behave motile under oxygen stress.

Degradation of Terpene Compounds

• Following inoculation of plants by nematodes, studies have found a significant enrichment of microorganisms with functions such as exogenous biodegradation and metabolism, terpene and polyketide metabolism, transport, and catabolism.
• We provide sequencing techniques such as 16S rDNA amplicons, transcriptomes, and macro genomes to explore the degradation of exogenous toxic substances such as terpene compounds by nematodes. In addition, a complete pathway for the degradation of α-terpene has also been listed in our services.

Lifeasible provides fast turnaround, high-quality services at competitive prices for customers worldwide. Our advanced technical platforms can help our clients solve the problems they may encounter in research based on years of experience.
