A Conjugative 38 kB Plasmid Is Present in Multiple Subspecies of Xylella fastidiosa
A similar to 38kB plasmid (pXF-RIV5) was present in the Riv5 strain of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex isolated from ornamental plum in southern California. The complete nucleotide sequence of ...
A new regulatory DNA motif of the gamma subclass proteobacteria: identification of the LexA protein binding site of the plant pathogen Xylella fastidiiosa
Escherichia coli LexA protein is the repressor of a gene network whose members are directly involved in the repair of damaged DNA and in the survival of bacterial cells until DNA lesions have been ...
Bacteriocins from plant pathogenic bacteria
Many bacteria produce antimicrobial substances such as nonribosomally synthesized antibiotics and ribosomally synthesized proteinaceous compounds referred to as bacteriocins. Secretion of antimicro...
Characterization of Novel Virulent Broad-Host-Range Phages of Xylella fastidiosa and Xanthomonas
The xylem-limited bacterium Xylella fastidiosa is the causal agent of several plant diseases, most notably Pierce's disease of grape and citrus variegated chlorosis. We report the isolation and cha...
Citrus genomics
Citrus fruits (sweet orange, mandarin, pummelo, grapefruit, lemon, lime and assorted hybrids) are among the most widely grown and economically important fruit tree crops in the world. As fresh frui...
Cloning and expression of the haloalkane dehalogenase gene dhmA from Mycobactetium avium N85 and preliminary characterization of DhmA
Haloalkane dehalogenases are microbial enzymes that catalyze cleavage of the carbon-halogen bond by a hydrolytic mechanism. Until recently, these enzymes have been isolated only from bacteria livin...
Comparative analyses of the complete genome sequences of Pierce's disease and citrus variegated chlorosis strains of Xylella fastidiosa
Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-dwelling, insect-transmitted, gamma-proteobacterium that causes diseases in many plants, including grapevine, citrus, periwinkle, almond, oleander, and coffee. X. fast...
Complete Genome Sequence Data of Three Xylella fastidiosa subsp. multiplex Strains Isolated from Olive Trees in California, U.S.A.
Xylella fastidiosa is a xylem-limited bacterial plant pathogen that causes disease on numerous hosts. Additionally, X. fastidiosa asymptomatically colonizes a wide range of plant species. X. fast...
Conjugative Plasmid Transfer in Xylella fastidiosa Is Dependent on tra and trb Operon Functions
The insect-transmitted plant pathogen Xylella fastidiosa is capable of efficient horizontal gene transfer (HGT) and recombination. Natural transformation occurs at high rates in X. fastidiosa, but ...
Directed gap closure in large-scale sequencing projects
A problem in many sequencing projects is the Final closure of gaps left in the clone libraries, which serve as templates for sequencing, because of uncloned or unclonable genomic areas. By use of t...
Draft Genome Sequence of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. fastidiosa Strain IVIA5235, Isolated from Prunus avium in Mallorca Island, Spain
We report the complete annotated genome sequence of the plant- pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa subsp. fastidiosa strain IVIA5235. This strain was recovered from a cherry tree in Mallorca, S...
Draft Genome Sequence Resources of Three Strains (TOS4, TOS5, and TOS14) of Xylella fastidiosa Infecting Different Host Plants in the Newly Discovered Outbreak in Tuscany, Italy
An outbreak of Xylella fastidiosa was discovered in late 2018 in northern Italy affecting several plant species. Multilocus sequence typing analyses detected the presence of strains clustering in X...
