Pyoluteorin as a signaling molecule regulating secondary metabolite production and transport genes in Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5

Creator:

Brodhagen, Marion L.

Abstract:

A major factor in the ability of Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5 to act as a biological control agent is its production of antibiotics, including pyoluteorin (PLT), 2,4-diacetylphloroglucinol (2,4-DAPG) and pyrrolnitrin (PRN). The data provided in this thesis demonstrate that the presence of any of these antibiotics in the extracellular milieu affects...
