Compound signamycin, method for production thereof, and use thereof

Fusaric acid resistant genes derived from fusaric acid decomposing or detoxifying microorganisms such as Pseudomonas cepacia and Klebsiella oxytoca are described. Also described are DNA fragments and plasmids, which comprise such fusaric acid resistant genes. Host cells comprising such plasmids are also described.

Fusaric acid resistant genes

A method for the prevention of Fusarium diseases comprising the application of a microorganism that detoxifies fusaric acid to the plant or to the soil. The microorganism is Klebsiella oxytoca which has the ability to detoxify fusaric acid.

Microorganisms detoxifying fusaric acid and method for detoxifying

A method for the prevention of Fusarium diseases comprising the application of a microorganism that decomposes or detoxifies fusaric acid to the plant or to the soil. The microorganisms are the genuses Cladosporium and Pseudomonas that have the ability to decompose and/or detoxify fusaric acid.
