The lactonase BxdA mediates metabolic specialisation of maize root bacteria to benzoxazinoids

Maize root bacteria were investigated for how they cope with the antimicrobial root exudates of their host plant. A gene cluster was identified, allowing the bacteria to metabolise these compounds and to specialize on the exudates of their host.
