High-Yield Production of Herbicidal Thaxtomins and Thaxtomin Analogs in a Nonpathogenic Streptomyces Strain
2 Apr 2018
Abstract excerpt
ABSTRACT Thaxtomins are virulence factors of most plant-pathogenic Streptomyces strains. Due to their potent herbicidal activity, attractive environmental compatibility, and inherent biodegradability, thaxtomins are key active ingredients of bioherbicides approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. However, the low yield of thaxtomins in native Streptomyces producers limits their wide agricultural...
