Chemical and biochemical studies indicated the possible involvement of N-acetyltryptophan and 4-nitrotryptophan as intermediates in biosynthesis of the thaxtomin phytotoxins. A search for other potential pathways indirectly resulted in the identification of three unusual thaxtomin analogues derived from the o-thaxtomin A isomer. Investigations to resolve the identity of a previously described thaxtomin A di-glucoside were not supportive of the proposed structure.

Streptomyces scabies is a well-researched plant pathogen belonging to the genus Streptomyces. Its virulence is linked to the production of the secondary metabolite thaxtomin A, which is tightly regulated at the transcriptional level. The leucine-responsive regulatory protein (Lrp) family is conserved in prokaryotes and is involved in various crucial biological processes.

Introduction: The Gram-positive actinobacterium is the major causal agent of potato common scab. The main pathogenicity factor is thaxtomin A, a phytotoxin that causes atypical cell death, although other secondary metabolites have been described to play a role in virulence. Despite this, many aspects of the interaction between and its primary host L.

Article Synopsis
- - The study found that tumescenamide C effectively inhibits the growth of the scab-forming pathogen S. scabiei NBRC13768, with an impressive IC value of 1.5 μg/mL.
- - Researchers generated three resistant strains of S. scabiei, which showed changes in genes involved in transporting cellobiose and related substances, leading to decreased production of the harmful toxin thaxtomin A.
- - The antimicrobial activity of tumescenamide C appears to be linked to its interaction with the cell wall component wall teichoic acid (WTA), as changes in WTA levels were observed in the resistant strains, suggesting that tumescenamide C targets the bacterial cell wall for its effects

have a uniquely complex developmental life cycle that involves the coordination of morphological differentiation with the production of numerous bioactive specialized metabolites. The majority of spp. are soil-dwelling saprophytes, while plant pathogenicity is a rare attribute among members of this genus Phytopathogenic are responsible for economically important diseases such as common scab, which affects potato and other root crops.
