Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of microbial technology, specifically relating to a nematode-pathogenic bacillus and its application in the decomposition of ASTR#18. Background Technology

[0002] Ascarosides are ubiquitous signaling molecules in nematodes, playing a crucial role in regulating various biological behaviors. The southern root-knot nematode *Meloidogyne incognita* contains abundant ascr#18. Studies have shown that ascr#18 can induce enhanced resistance in plants to viruses, bacteria, fungi, and nematodes. Furthermore, *Caenorhabditis elegans* can metabolize exogenous ascr#10 and ascr#18 into ascr#9. Ascr#9 significantly promotes the dispersal of *M. incognita*.

[0003] The symbiotic bacterium *Xenorhabdus nematophila*, belonging to the phylum *Proteobacteria*, is a Gram-negative bacterium that supports *St. carpocapsae*. It can inhibit the hatching of *S. southern root-knot nematode* eggs and promote the spread of the nematode. Although there are numerous research reports on its role in controlling *S. southern root-knot nematode*, there are no reports on its effect on ascaridin degradation.

[0004] This invention is the first to discover that the nematopathogenic bacillus Xenorhabdus nematophila has the ability to decompose ascr#18. Summary of the Invention
