Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The population of Photorhabdus luminescens C9, bacterial symbiont of the entomopathogenic nematode, Heterorhabditis megidis 90, increased rapidly to 1.2-2.6x10(9) cells g(-1) wet Galleria mellonella larvae within 24 h of nematode infection of the larvae, and maintained a relatively constant level (1.2-2.0x10(10) cells g(-1)) through the entire 14-day period of nematode development. The antibiotic, 3, 5-dihydroxy-4-isopropylstilbene, was produced by P. luminescens C9 after 24 h of nematode infection, increased rapidly at 2-5 days postinfection and remained at a level of 3000-3600 microg g(-1) wet larvae until about 21 days, decreasing gradually thereafter. The early production and continued presence of a relatively large amount of 3,5-dihydroxy-4-isopropylstilbene in the infected insect supports the hypothesis that the antibiotics produced by the bacterial symbiont help minimize competition from other microorganisms and prevents the putrefaction of the nematode-infected insect cadaver.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
