Two genera of entomopathogenic nematodes, Heterorhabditis and Steinernema, are mutualistically associated with their symbiotic bacteria. This study reports an identification of the symbiotic bacteria of H. megidis collected in Andong, Korea. The isolated bacteria emitted bioluminescence and showed red color on MacConkey agar medium. Fatty acid composition and carbon utility were analyzed by two microbial identification systems and showed high similarity with Photorhabdus temperata subsp. temperata.
