Abstract
Bacteria in the genera Xenorhabdus and Photorhabdus are symbiotically associated with entomopathogenic nematodes. The genomes of these bacteria harbor 1000 different biosynthetic gene clusters of natural products with specific and complementary ecological functions. Most of these products still await identification. These compounds have various properties ranging from antibacterial, antiprotozoal, acaricidal, antifungal and anticancer to insecticidal activities. This chapter summarizes the bioactive secondary metabolites produced and their potential application in biological control of various pest organisms. Gene regulation by these symbiotic bacteria is also discussed.
