A genomic island in a plant beneficial rhizobacterium encodes novel antimicrobial fatty acids and a self‐protection shield to enhance its competition
20 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
Rhizobacteria devote a relatively large percentage of their genomes to encode bioactive natural products that are important for competition in the rhizosphere. In this study, a plant beneficial rhizobacterium Bacillus velezensis SQR9 was discovered to produce novel antibacterial fatty acids, Bacillunoic acids, which are encoded on a genomic island (GI). This GI contains a hybrid type I fatty acid synthase...
