Characterization of the TolB-Pal trans-envelope complex from Xylella fastidiosa reveals a dynamic and coordinated protein expression profile during the biofilm development process
The intriguing roles of the bacterial Tol-Pal trans-envelope protein complex range from maintenance of cell envelope integrity to potential participation in the process of cell division. In this st...
Effects of the antimicrobial peptide gomesin on the global gene expression profile, virulence and biofilm formation of Xylella fastidiosa
In the xylem vessels of susceptible hosts, such as citrus trees, Xylella fastidiosa forms biofilm-like colonies that can block water transport, which appears to correlate to disease symptoms. Besid...
Global Expression Profile of Biofilm Resistance to Antimicrobial Compounds in the Plant-Pathogenic Bacterium Xylella fastidiosa Reveals Evidence of Persister Cells
Investigations of biofilm resistance response rarely focus on plant-pathogenic bacteria. Since Xylella fastidiosa is a multihost plant-pathogenic bacterium that forms biofilm in the xylem, the beha...
Influence of xylem fluid chemistry on planktonic growth, biofilm formation and aggregation of Xylella fastidiosa
Xylella fastidiosa is the causal agent of Pierce's disease in grapevines. The mechanisms of pathogenicity are largely due to occlusion of xylem vessels by aggregation of X. fastidiosa and biofilm f...
Initial biochemical and functional characterization of a 5 '-nucleotidase from Xylella fastidiosa related to the human cytosolic 5 '-nucleotidase I
The 5'-nucleotidases constitute a ubiquitous family of enzymes that catalyze either the hydrolysis or the transfer of esterified phosphate at the 5' position of nucleoside monophosphates. These enz...
In vitro Determination of Extracellular Proteins from Xylella fastidiosa
The phytopathogen Xylella fastidiosa causes economic losses in important agricultural crops. Xylem vessel occlusion caused by biofilm formation is the major mechanism underlying the pathogenicity o...
Lipid Profile of Xylella fastidiosa Subsp pauca Associated With the Olive Quick Decline Syndrome
RAPD profile and antibiotic susceptibility of Xylella fastidiosa, causal agent of citrus variegated chlorosis
The aim of this study was to evaluate the diversity of Xylella fastidiosa isolated from citrus trees affected by Citrus Variegated Chlorosis (CVC). The antibiotic susceptibility by agar disc diff...
The role of iron in Mycobacterium smegmatis biofilm formation: the exochelin siderophore is essential in limiting iron conditions for biofilm formation but not for planktonic growth
Many species of mycobacteria form structured biofilm communities at liquid-air interfaces and on solid surfaces. Full development of Mycobacterium smegmatis biofilms requires addition of supplement...
Xylella fastidiosa genotype differentiation by SYBR (R) Green-based QRT-PCR
Pathotype differentiation within Xylella fastidiosa (Wells) is necessary to accurately identify the causal agents of several leaf scorch diseases in agronomic crops and ornamentals. Three strain gr...
Xylella fastidiosa MLST profiles and sequences
MLST sequences from Xylella fastidiosa present on Philaenus spumarius specimens and from almond trees infected by the bacterium in Mallorca Island, Spain
Xylella fastidiosa subsp pauca (CoDiRO strain) infection in four olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivars: profile of phenolic compounds in leaves and progression of leaf scorch symptoms
Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca (Xfp), strain CoDiRO, infects a broad range of olive (Olea europaea L.) cultivars. The profile of phenolic compounds, progression of leaf scorch symptoms and populat...
