Summary: Fusarium graminearum, the causal agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB), has a significant impact on global wheat production, resulting in 10-70% loss. In this study, we screened 59 Xenorhabdus strains and found that the cell-free supernatant (CFS) of X. budapestensis 14 (XBD14) exhibited the highest bioactivity against F. graminearum. Through genetic methods and HRMS/MS analysis, Fcl-29, a fabclavine derivative, was identified as the major antifungal natural product. Field tests demonstrated that Fcl-29 effectively controlled FHB and showed broad-spectrum antifungal activity against important pathogenic fungi. The production of Fcl-29 was significantly improved by 33.82-fold through a combinational strategy of genetic and fermentation engineering. This research opens up new possibilities for the development of biofungicides in global plant protection.
