The bacterial pathogen <i>Pseudomonas tolaasii</i> severely damages white button mushrooms by secretion of the pore-forming toxin tolaasin, the main virulence factor of brown blotch disease. Yet, fungus-associated helper bacteria of the genus <i>Mycetocola</i> (<i>Mycetocola tolaasinivorans</i> and <i>Mycetocola lacteus</i>) may protect their host by an unknown detoxification mechanism. By a combination of metabolic profiling, imaging mass spectrometry, structure elucidation, and bioassays, we f ...[more]
