Gene expression analysis identifies hypothetical genes that may be critical during the infection process of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri

Background: Gene expression analysis via microarray is widely used in phytobacteria to validate differential gene expression associated with virulence or to compare biological profiles of wild type and mutant strains. Here, we employed DNA microarrays to study the early stages of the infection process (2...

Molecular methods for diversity assessment among xanthomonads of Bulgarian and Macedonian pepper

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (supl.1), 2018
ABSTRACT Bacterial spot is an important disease of pepper in Bulgaria and Macedonia. For characterization of Xanthomonas species associated with bacterial spot, 161 strains were collected from various field pepper-growing regions. Among them, 131 strains were identified as Xanthomonas euvesicatoria and 3...

A protein expression system for tandem affinity purification in Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri

Braz. j. microbiol; 47 (2), 2016
Abstract Citrus canker, caused by the Gram-negative bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xac), is one of the most devastating diseases to affect citrus crops. There is no treatment for citrus canker; effective control against the spread of Xac is usually achieved by the elimination of affected plant...
