The randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) method was used to investigate the genetic diversity in Xanthomonas cynarae, which causes bacterial bract spot disease of artichoke. This RAPD analysis...

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...

Strains of Xylella fastidiosa isolated from grape, almond, maple, and oleander were characterized by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus sequence-, repetitive extragenic palindromic ele...

The phylogenetic relationships of Xylella fastidiosa strains isolated from different hosts, including citrus trees, coffee, grapevine, plum and pear, were inferred by sequence analysis of the 16S r...

A novel dipeptidylpeptidase (DPP-7) was purified from the membrane fraction of Porphyromonas gingivalis. This enzyme, with an apparent molecular mass of 76 kDa, has the specificity for both aliphat...

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...

Four bacterial strains were isolated from the fly larvae of an obligate parasitic fly, Wohlfahrtia magnifica (Diptera: Sarcophagidae), These isolates were characterized by a polyphasic approach and...

Xylella fastidiosa is a gram-negative, xylem-limited bacterium affecting economically important crops (e,g,, grapevine, citrus, and coffee). The citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC) strain of X. fasti...

Employing the biparental exogenous plasmid isolation method, conjugative plasmids conferring mercury resistance were isolated from the microbial community of the rhizosphere of field grown alfalfa ...
