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.

Involvement of both PKS and NRPS in antibacterial activity in Lysobacter enzymogenes OH11. [PDF]
Polyketides and nonribosomal peptides represent two large families of natural products (NPs) with diverse structures and important functions. They are synthesized by polyketide synthase (PKS) and nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS), respectively. Lysobacter enzymogenes is emerging as a novel biocontrol agent against pathogens of crop plants and a ...

Hfq regulates antibacterial antibiotic biosynthesis and extracellular lytic-enzyme production in Lysobacter enzymogenes OH11. [PDF]
Lysobacter enzymogenes is an important biocontrol agent with the ability to produce a variety of lytic enzymes and novel antibiotics. Little is known about their regulatory mechanisms. Understanding these will be helpful for improving biocontrol of crop diseases and potential medical application.

A YajQ-LysR-like, cyclic di-GMP-dependent system regulating biosynthesis of an antifungal antibiotic in a crop-protecting bacterium, Lysobacter enzymogenes. [PDF]
Summary YajQ, a binding protein of the universal bacterial second messenger cyclic di‐GMP (c‐di‐GMP), affects virulence in several bacterial pathogens, including Xanthomonas campestris. In this bacterium, YajQ interacts with the transcription factor LysR.

-Lactamase of Lysobacter Enzymogenes: Induction, Purification and Characterization [PDF]
Lysobacter enzymogenes produces an inducible beta-lactamase and induction with 100 micrograms ampicillin ml-1 resulted in an increase of more than 100-fold in enzyme activity. Various other beta-lactam antibiotics also served as effective inducers.
