Extract

Corynetoxins, the toxic glycolipids produced by Corynebacterium rathayi colonizing bacterial galls induced by the seed gall nematode Anguina agrostis in annual ryegrass (Loliurn rigidum), did not affect embryogenesis or larval development of A. agrostis although they did inhibit the rate of egg hatching. Corynetoxins were not toxic to several species of nematode which are parasites of roots nor to various stages of the free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegana and they did not appear to influence the numbers of C. rathayi that became attached to the surface of the cuticle of infective larvae of A. agrostis.
