Use of PCR-Targeted Mutagenesis To Disrupt Production of Fusaricidin-Type Antifungal Antibiotics in <i>Paenibacillus polymyxa</i>
31 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
Paenibacillus polymyxa (formerly Bacillus polymyxa) PKB1 has been identified as a potential agent for biocontrol of blackleg disease of canola, caused by the pathogenic fungus Leptosphaeria maculans. The factors presumed to contribute to disease suppression by strain PKB1 include the production of fusaricidin-type antifungal metabolites that appear around the onset of bacterial sporulation. The fusaricidins are a...
