Detecting Genetic Introgression: High Levels of Intersubspecific Recombination Found in Xylella fastidiosa in Brazil

Documenting the role of novel mutation versus homologous recombination in bacterial evolution, and especially in the invasion of new hosts, is central to understanding the long-term dynamics of pat...

Effects of DNA Size on Transformation and Recombination Efficiencies in Xylella fastidiosa

Horizontally transferred DNA acquired through transformation and recombination has the potential to contribute to the diversity and evolution of naturally competent bacteria. However, many differen...

Natural Competence and Recombination in the Plant Pathogen Xylella fastidiosa

Homologous recombination is one of many forces contributing to the diversity, adaptation, and emergence of pathogens. For naturally competent bacteria, transformation is one possible route for the ...

The single "Extracytoplasmic-Function sigma factor of Xylella fastidiosa is involved in the heat shock response and presents an unusual regulatory mechanism

Genome sequence analysis of the bacterium Xylella fastidiosa revealed the presence of two genes, named rpoE and rseA, predicted to encode an extracytoplasmic function (ECF) sigma factor and an anti...
