Abstract

Over the past twenty years or so, significant advances have been made in the study of the secondary metabolism of the widespread phytopathogenic Gram-negative bacterium Pseudomonas syringae. Interdisciplinary approach, which required the expertise of plant pathologists, chemists, biochemists and molecular biologists, led to the discovery of a new family of bioactive peptide secondary metabolites. The determination of their structures was pivotal for the investigations on their biosynthetic pathways, their relevance in the development of plant disease, and for the understanding of the molecular bases of their biological activities in plant, microbial and animal cells. In particular, the antibiotic activities of some of these compounds appear very interesting in the perspective of their utilization both in medicine and in agriculture. The goal of this chapter is to summarize the present knowledge in various areas of research on P. syringae peptide metabolites.
