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 characterization of the first virulent phages for X. fastidiosa, siphophages Sano and Salvo and podophages Prado and Paz, with a host range that includes Xanthomonas spp. Phages propagated on homologous ...
متن کاملMapping analysis of the Xylella fastidiosa genome.
A cosmid library was made of the 2.7 Mb genome of the Gram-negative plant pathogenic bacterium Xylella fastidiosa and analysed by hybridisation mapping. Clones taken from the library as well as genomic restriction fragments of rarely cutting enzymes were used as probes. The latter served as a backbone for ordering the initial map contigs and thus facilitated gap closure. Also, the co-linearity ...
متن کاملInteraction between Xylella Fastidiosa and Curtobacterium Flaccumfaciens
Xylella fastidiosa (Xf) is a fastidious gram-negative, xylem-limited bacterium that causes diseases in many crops of economic importance, such as grape (Pierce’s disease), almond, peach, coffee, plum and citrus. Xf can infect all known Citrus sinensis cultivars and causes Citrus variegated chlorosis (CVC). One major endophyte isolated from CVC-asymptomatic plants is the bacterium Curtobacterium...
متن کاملExploiting Xylella Fastidiosa Proteins for Pierce ’ S Disease Control
The aim of this project is to construct and express in grapevine, a protein or protein chimera capable of inactivating or otherwise interfering with the infectivity of, or disease-induction by, Xylella fastidiosa (Xf), the causative agent of Pierce’s disease (PD) of grapevine. A single-chain, monoclonal (scFv) antibody was selected for its ability to bind to Xf cells recovered by centrifugation...
متن کاملEXPLOITING XYLELLA FASTIDIOSA PROTEINS FOR PIERCE’S DISEASE CONTROL Project Leaders:
The principal objective of this project is to construct and express in test plants, and then in grapevine rootstock, a protein or protein chimera capable of inactivating Xylella fastidiosa (Xf), the causative agent of Pierce’s disease (PD) of grapevine. Prior results from this project identified MopB as a, or possibly the, major outer membrane protein of Xf. We have shown that MopB is accessibl...
