Biosynthesis of Antibiotic Leucinostatins in Bio-control Fungus Purpureocillium lilacinum and Their Inhibition on Phytophthora Revealed by Genome Mining
Fig 1
Lifestyles of nematophagous P. lilacinum and the structures of leucinostatins.
(A) Microscopic conidiophores and conidia (c) of P. lilacinum. Scale bar = 10 μm. The soil saprophyte (s) P. lilacinum colonizes plant roots as an endophyte (e), and the parasite (p) can occur in nematode eggs in the egg mass (em) generated after the infection with the plant nematode (n). (B) Chemical structure of leucinostatins A and B.
