Strain IC1270 of Enterobacter agglomerans has been previously described as a producer of a complex of chitinolytic enzymes and as an antagonist of many fungal phytopathogens [Chernin et al. (1995) Appl. Env. Microbiol. 61:1720-1726]. Here we show that this strain also produces an antibiotic that was...
