Antibacterial Activity of Phenolic Compounds Against the Phytopathogen Xylella fastidiosa
Xylella fastidiosa is a pathogenic bacterium that causes diseases in many crop species, which leads to considerable economic loss. Phenolic compounds (a group of secondary metabolites) are widely d...
Biofilm Formation by the Fish Pathogen Flavobacterium columnare: Development and Parameters Affecting Surface Attachment
Flavobacterium columnare is a bacterial fish pathogen that affects many freshwater species worldwide. The natural reservoir of this pathogen is unknown, but its resilience in closed aquaculture sys...
Comparative genomics of Clavibacter michiganensis subspecies, pathogens of important agricultural crops
Subspecies of Clavibacter michiganensis are important phytobacterial pathogens causing devastating diseases in several agricultural crops. The genome organizations of these pathogens are poorly und...
Differentiation of "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus" Isolates by Variable-Number Tandem-Repeat Analysis
Four highly polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) loci were selected and used to differentiate 84 Japanese isolates of "Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus." The Nei's measure of genetic diversity...
Fluid dynamics in the functional foregut of xylem-sap feeding insects: A comparative study of two Xylella fastidiosa vectors
Xylem sap sucking insects are adapted to ingest fluids under tension. Although much has been learned about such feeding strategy, this adaptation still poses several unresolved questions, including...
Influence of Vitis xylem fluid and xylem fluid plus cecropin on growth of Xylella fastidiosa
Colony growth of Xylella fastidiosa (UCLA ID and STL PD strains) was quantified after incubation for 48 h in xylem fluid of Vitis rotundifolia Michx. cv. Noble and Vitis vinifera L. cv. Chardonnay....
Intraspecific diversity of Brevibacterium linens, Corynebacterium glutamicum and Rhodococcus erythropolis based on partial 16S rDNA sequence analysis and Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy
The intraspecific diversity of 31 strains of Brevibacterium linens, 27 strains of Corynebacterium glutamicum and 29 strains of Rhodococcus erythropolis was determined by partial 16S rDNA sequence a...
Lessons from One Fastidious Bacterium to Another: What Can We Learn about Liberibacter Species from Xylella fastidiosa
Huanglongbing is causing economic devastation to the citrus industry in Florida, and threatens the industry everywhere the bacterial pathogens in the Candidatus Liberibacter genus and their insect ...
Metabolic alterations in the nymphal instars of Diaphorina citri induced by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus, the putative pathogen of huanglongbing
Currently, huanglongbing is the most damaging disease of citrus causing huge economic losses. The disease is caused by the Gram- negative bacterium Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas). The pat...
Patterns of Xylella fastidiosa colonization on the precibarium of sharpshooter vectors relative to transmission to plants
Xylella fastidiosa is a bacterial plant pathogen that causes many plant diseases, including Pierce's disease of grapevines. Sharpshooter leafhopper (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae: Cicadellinae) vectors t...
Rooting of healthy and Cvc-affected 'Valencia' sweet orange stem cuttings, through the use of plant regulators
Citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC) is a disease caused by Xylella fastidiosa. Using different concentrations of plant regulators, such as auxins (indole-3-butyric acid) and gibberellic acid biosynth...
Sonication-Assisted Production of Fosetyl-Al Nanocrystals: Investigation of Human Toxicity and In Vitro Antibacterial Efficacy againstXylella fastidiosa
Recently, there is a growing demand in sustainable phytopathogens control research. Nanotechnology provides several tools such as new pesticides formulations, antibacterial nanomaterials and smar...
