Agricultural soil harbors a diverse microbiome that can form beneficial relationships with plants, including the inhibition of plant pathogens. Pseudomonas spp. are one most abundant bacterial genera in and rhizosphere play important roles promoting health. However, genetic determinants this activity only partially understood. Here, we genetically phenotypically characterize fluorescens population commercial potato field, where identify strong correlations between specialized metabolite...
The natural products actinonin and matlystatin feature an N -hydroxy-2-pentyl-succinamyl (HPS) chemophore that facilitates metal chelation confers their metalloproteinase inhibitory activity. Actinonin is the most potent inhibitor of peptide deformylase (PDF) exerts antimicrobial herbicidal bioactivity by disrupting protein synthesis. Here, we used a genomics-led approach to identify candidate biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) hypothesized produce HPS-containing products. We show one these...
