Antibacterial spectrum of diaphorin, a polyketide produced by a bacterial symbiont of the Asian citrus psyllid.

Diaphorin is a polyketide synthesized by "Candidatus Profftella armatura" (Betaproteobacteria: Burkholderiales), an obligate symbiont of a devastating agricultural pest, the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera: Psyllidae). Previous studies showed that physiological concentrations of diaphorin, which is present in D. citri at 2-20 mM, are inhibitory to various eukaryotes and Bacillus subtilis (Firmicutes: Bacilli) but promote the growth and metabolic activity of Escherichia coli (Gammaproteobacteria: Enterobacterales).

A limited concentration range of diaphorin, a polyketide produced by a bacterial symbiont of the Asian citrus psyllid, promotes the gene expression with bacterial ribosomes.

Diaphorin is a polyketide produced by " Profftella armatura" (), an obligate symbiont of a devastating agricultural pest, the Asian citrus psyllid (Hemiptera: Psyllidae). Physiological concentrations of diaphorin, which contains at levels as high as 2-20 mM, are inhibitory to various eukaryotes and () but promote the growth and metabolic activity of (). Our previous study demonstrated that 5-mM diaphorin, which exhibits significant inhibitory and promoting effects on cultured and , respectively, inhibits gene expression utilizing purified and ribosomes.

Diaphorin, a polyketide produced by a bacterial endosymbiont of the Asian citrus psyllid, adversely affects the in vitro gene expression with ribosomes from Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis.

Diaphorin is a polyketide produced by "Candidatus Profftella armatura" (Gammaproteobacteria), an obligate mutualist of an important agricultural pest, the Asian citrus psyllid Diaphorina citri (Hemiptera). Our previous study demonstrated that diaphorin, at physiological concentrations in D. citri, inhibits the growth and cell division of Bacillus subtilis (Firmicutes) but promotes the growth and metabolic activity of Escherichia coli (Gammaproteobacteria).
