Albicidin Pathotoxin Produced by Xanthomonas albilineans Is Encoded by Three Large PKS and NRPS Genes Present in a Gene Cluster Also Containing Several Putative Modifying, Regulatory, and Resistance Genes

Xanthomonas albilineans, which causes leaf scald disease of sugarcane, produces a highly potent pathotoxin called albicidin. We report here sequencing and homology analysis of the major gene cluster, XALB1 (55,839 bp), and a second, smaller region, XALB2 (2,986 bp), involved in albicidin biosynthesi...
