Journal ArticleDOI

Traits of fluorescent Pseudomonas spp. involved in suppression of plant root pathogens.

TL;DR: The understanding of the relevant characteristics will facilitate the direct selection and/or construction of strains which will perform under a variety of environmental conditions, and facilitate attempts aimed at the improvement of strains based on deregulating pathways or introducing traits from one strain to another.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene cluster.

Marnix H. Medema, +164 more
TL;DR: This work proposes the Minimum Information about a Biosynthetic Gene cluster (MIBiG) data standard, to facilitate consistent and systematic deposition and retrieval of data on biosynthetic gene clusters.
Journal ArticleDOI

Metabolites of Pseudomonas involved in the biocontrol of plant disease

TL;DR: This article focuses on antimicrobial metabolites produced by fluorescent pseudomonads, discusses their role in suppressing fungal diseases of important crops and reviews the prospects of genetically manipulating the producer organisms to improve the efficacy of these biocontrol agents.
Journal ArticleDOI

Small, stable shuttle vectors based on the minimal pVS1 replicon for use in gram-negative, plant-associated bacteria.

TL;DR: The minimal replicon of the Pseudomonas plasmid pVS1 was genetically defined and combined with the Escherichia coli p15A replicon to provide a series of new, oligocopy cloning vectors that were stable in growing and nongrowing cells of root-colonizing P. fluorescens strains.
