Abstract

During phenotypic and biochemical observations three different species of bacteria viz., Xenorhabdus indica, X. stockiae and Photorhabdus luminescens luminescens were reported for the first time from Pakistan. They were associated with the infective stage juveniles of the entomopathogenic nematodes Steinernema abbasi, S. siamkayai and Heterorhabditis bacteriophora, respectively.
