Anti-microbial metabolites secreted from various bacterial and/or fungal species are described that have anti-bacterial activity against Xanthomonas species, which cause disease in plant hosts, including a wide variety of crops. Bacterial and fungal species producing such metabolites were identified from environmental samples (seeds, different vegetable organs and soil) from different geographic locations. Compositions, methods, uses, and kits 5 relating to the identified anti-microbial metabolites are also described. |
