Lipopeptide biosurfactants (LPBSs) consist of a hydrophobic fatty acid portion linked to a
hydrophilic peptide chain in the molecule. With their complex and diverse structures, LPBSs …

Bacteria of the genus Pseudomonas are ubiquitous in nature. Pseudomonads display a
fascinating metabolic diversity, which correlates with their ability to colonize an extremely …

World human population is increasing with an alarming rate; and a variety of new types of
health issues are popping up. For instance, increase in number of drug-resistant bacteria is …

Around one century ago, a rice disease characterized mainly by rotting of sheaths was
reported in Taiwan. The causal agent was identified as Acrocylindrium oryzae, later known …

A novel family of peptide antimycotics, termed ecomycins, is described from Pseudomonas
viridiflava, a plant‐associated bacterium. Ecomycins B and C have molecular masses of …

Abstract α, β-Dehydroamino acids are naturally occurring non-coded amino acids, found
primarily in peptides. The review focuses on the type of α, β-dehydroamino acids, the …

Production of biosurfactants is a common feature in bacteria, and in particular in plant‐
associated species. These bacteria include many plant beneficial and plant pathogenic …

Lipopeptides (LPs) are a prominent class of molecules among the steadily growing
spectrum of specialized metabolites retrieved from Pseudomonas, in particular soil-dwelling …

Some of the most potent phytotoxins are synthesized by microbes. A few of these share
molecular target sites with some synthetic herbicides, but many microbial toxins have unique …

Many strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae produce one of four classes of small
cyclic lipodepsinonapeptides: syringomycins, syringostatins, syringotoxins, or …
