Abstract
(Chemical Equation Presented) Two transcriptional regulators in the bacterium Ralstonia solanacearum (VsrAD and PhcA) that play a central role for virulence were shown to affect secondary metabolism as well; this led to the identification of a new natural product, ralfuranone. The results shed light on the regulation and biosynthetic capacities for secondary metabolism of this plant pathogen.
