Phylogeny of HCN Synthase-Encoding hcnBC Genes in Biocontrol Fluorescent Pseudomonads and Its Relationship with Host Plant Species and HCN Synthesis Ability

Hydrogen cyanide (HCN) is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial compound involved in biological control of root diseases by many plant-associated fluorescent pseudomonads. The HCN synthase is encoded by three biosynthetic genes (hcnA,hcnB, and hcnC), but little is known about the diversity of these genes i...
