Two Distinct Regulatory Systems Control Pulcherrimin Biosynthesis in Bacillus subtilis

N. L. Fernandez, L. A. Simmons

This paper identifies two regulatory systems involving ScoC, AbrB, and PchR that control pulcherrimin biosynthesis in Bacillus subtilis, showing their combined necessity to limit its production.
