Abstract excerpt
Trifolitoxin (TFX) is a gene-encoded, posttranslationally modified peptide antibiotic. Previously, we have shown that tfxABCDEFG from Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. trifolii T24 is sufficient to confer TFX production and resistance to nonproducing strains within a distinct taxonomic group of the alpha-proteobacteria (E. W. Triplett, B. T. Breil, and G. A. Splitter, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 60:4163-4166, 1994). Here...
