Comparative genome‐wide analysis reveals that <i>Burkholderia contaminans</i> <scp>MS</scp> 14 possesses multiple antimicrobial biosynthesis genes but not major genetic loci required for pathogenesis

Abstract excerpt

Burkholderia contaminans MS14 shows significant antimicrobial activities against plant and animal pathogenic fungi and bacteria. The antifungal agent occidiofungin produced by MS14 has great potential for development of biopesticides and pharmaceutical drugs. However, the use of Burkholderia species as biocontrol agent in agriculture is restricted due to the difficulties in distinguishing between plant...
