Abstract
The present invention provides biosynthetic products that may be useful for controlling bacterial panicle blight of rice. These products are encoded by four biosynthetic operons found within the genome of a Pseudomonas protegens strain designated as PBL3 and deposited as ATCC #, which has been shown to inhibit the growth of Burkholderia glumae on rice plants. Also provided are vectors encoding these biosynthetic products, and methods of using the biosynthetic products to inhibit the growth of microorganisms.
Claims5
A method of inhibiting the growth of Burkholderia glumae, the method comprising:
- contacting the Burkholderia glumae with an effective amount of a biosynthetic product, thereby inhibiting its growth, wherein the biosynthetic product is produced by a Pseudomonas protegens strain designated as PBL3 and deposited as NRRL Accession No. B-68083, and wherein the biosynthetic product is selected from orfamide A/C, pyoluteorin, and pyrrolnitrin.
