title: A cryptic PKS-NRPS gene locus in the plant commensal Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5 codes for the biosynthesis of an antimitotic rhizoxin complex.
abstract: Targeted gene inactivation and metabolic profiling revealed that the cryptic PKS-NRPS gene cluster in the genome of the plant commensal Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf-5 codes for the biosynthesis of antiproliferative and antifungal rhizoxin derivatives.
