Abstract excerpt
The antibiotic 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (Phl) is an important factor in the biological control by fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. of many soilborne diseases including take-all disease of wheat. A 6.5-kb genomic DNA fragment from Pseudomonas fluorescens Q2-87 conferred production of Phl and of a re...
