Microbial Natural Products That Affect Plants, Phytopathogens, and Certain other Microorganisms

Abstract

Biologically active natural products of microbial origin are diverse in chemical structure and exhibit different responses in divergent assay systems. They may have practical use as plant growth regulators, antimicrobials, and phytotoxins. In addition, they may be viewed as bioactive templates that may be altered to produce compounds with changed specific activities and target specificities.
