| burkholderia rhizoxinica sp. nov. and burkholderia endofungorum sp. nov., bacterial endosymbionts of the plant-pathogenic fungus rhizopus microsporus. | several strains of the fungus rhizopus microsporus harbour endosymbiotic bacteria for the production of the causal agent of rice seedling blight, rhizoxin, and the toxic cyclopeptide rhizonin. r. microsporus and isolated endobacteria were selected for freeze-fracture electron microscopy, which allowed visualization of bacterial cells within the fungal cytosol by their two parallel-running envelope membranes and by the fine structure of the lipopolysaccharide layer of the outer membrane. two repr ... | 2007 | 17978222 |
