ABSTRACT:
An exotoxin of the plant pathogen, Pseudomonas syringae pv. tagetis selectively inhibits the development of chloroplasts in growing plant tissue. The exotoxin, known as tagetitoxin, can be produced efficiently from a mutant high-producing line of the bacteria, designated C42mr2+. The tagetitoxin can also be readily purified from the culture medium of the bacteria.
