Burkholderia gladioli Lv-StA is involved in antibiotic production in Lagria villosa, representing a dynamic transition between plant pathogenicity and insect-defensive mutualism.
Antimicrobial Activity

Bacteria

Burkholderia gladioli harbors a cryptic gene cluster that codes for the biosynthesis of gladiofungin, a novel antifungal polyketide with a glutarimide pharmacophore, representing a previously-overlooked component of the beetle symbiont's antimicrobial armory.
