Lysobacter enzymogenes: A fully armed biocontrol warrior
Lysobacter enzymogenes is less-studied, but emerging as a powerful biocontrol bacterium producing multiple antimicrobial weapons including lytic enzymes, toxins, secondary metabolites and protein secretion systems. The loss of surface-attached flagellum,

Identification of atypical T4SS effector proteins mediating bacterial defense
To remain competitive, proteobacteria use various contact‐dependent weapon systems to defend against microbial competitors. The bacterial‐killing type IV secretion system (T4SS) is one such powerful weapon.

Biosynthesis of the Polycyclic System in the Antifungal HSAF and Analogues from Lysobacter enzymogenes. [PDF]
AbstractThe biocontrol agent Lysobacter enzymogenes produces polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PoTeMs), including the antifungal HSAF. To elucidate the biosynthesis of the cyclic systems, we identified eleven HSAF precursors/analogues with zero, one, two, or three rings through heterologous expression of the HSAF gene cluster.

Mechanism of Lysobacter enzymogenes resistance toward fungi induced by fungal-derived signal α-terpinene [PDF]
Bacterial-fungal interactions (BFI) are critical drivers of ecosystem functions, and their molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Chemical signals are crucial mediators of microbial communication, but the signaling mechanisms of terpene ...

LesR is a novel upstream regulator that controls downstream Clp expression to modulate antibiotic HSAF biosynthesis and cell aggregation in Lysobacter enzymogenes OH11 [PDF]
Background Heat-stable antifungal factor (HSAF) is a polycyclic tetramate macrolactam secondary metabolite that exhibits broad-spectrum inhibitory activities against filamentous fungal pathogens. The native yield of this chemical is low.
