Identification and biosynthesis of xildivaline, a novel and widespread peptide deformylase inhibitor from Gammaproteobacteria Xenorhabdus strains, Gram-negative bacteria pathogenic to insects and symbionts to nematodes of the genus Steinernema are prolific producers of various natural products. Here we describe the xisABCDE ...
