Investigations on Microbes Attached to the Cuticle of Phytonematodes
Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Book chapter › Research › peer-review
Nematodes form various associations with soil microbiome. Experimental studies on nematode-attached microbes can improve mechanistic understanding of these associations and lead to new discoveries relevant for the field of nematode biocontrol. Microbial attachment to the surface of phytonematodes is very specific and influenced by a multitude of factors, including the designation of nematodes and microbes, environmental and biological factors in soil, time of incubation, and the ratio and evolutionary trajectories between nematodes and microbes. Here, we describe how the classical nematological and microbiological techniques can be coupled with the advanced molecular tools to study the microbial attachment to phytonematodes in soil. We focus on the characterization of nematode-attached microbes using classical microbiological approaches and high-throughput amplicon sequencing and on the effects of nematode-attached microbes on plant defense responses.
