Abstract: Xenocoumacin1 (Xcn1), a kind of water-soluble peptide antimicrobial compounds from Xenorhabdus nematophila, shows wide-spectrum antimicrobial activity towards bacteria and fungi, demonstrating great application potential in crop disease control. In this paper, we summarized the research progress of this compound in synthesis, degradation, regulation and crop disease control, and pointed out the possible strategies for strain engineering and industrial production.

Key words: Xenorhabdus nematophila, metabolite product, Xcn1, disease control
