Helper bacteria halt and disarm mushroom pathogens by linearizing structurally diverse cyclolipopeptides
31 Aug 2020
Abstract excerpt
Significance P. tolaasii is the causative agent of brown blotch disease in the common button mushroom Agaricus bisporus and responsible for tremendous losses in mushroom farms every year. The pathogen relies on two different cyclic lipopeptides during infection: the pore forming toxin tolaasin and the motility conferring biosurfactant pseudodesmin. In this study, we show how enzymes produced by helper bacteria of...
