Following publication of our article [1], we found errors in analyses performed by the corresponding author (DJS) related to the phylogenetic relationship between Xylella species and the other xanthomonads. These errors do not make any difference to the main findings and conclusions reported in our paper. For example, the phylogenetic positions of NCPPB1131, NCPPB1132 and NCPPB4393 within the G...

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris is a necrotrophic bacterial pathogen of crucifers. We report here the draft genome sequences of isolates ICMP 4013 and ICMP 21080 from New Zealand. These sequences will facilitate the identification of race-specific factors in X. campestris pv. campestris.

Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae is the causal agent of rice bacterial blight disease. Numerous genes critical for virulence have been identified. This article reviews current knowledge on the molecular mechanisms of X. oryzae pv. oryzae virulence.

A total of 320 potable water samples were collected from various rural and urban sources located in the Lublin region of eastern Poland. They comprised: 55 samples of treated (chlorinated) tap water from rural dwellings distributed by the municipal water supply system (MWSS), 111 samples of treated tap water from urban dwellings distributed by the MWSS, 45 samples of untreated well water from h...

xanthan gum is a microbial polysaccharide of great commercial importance as it has unusual rheological properties in solution and consequent range of applications. in this study, a series of mutants were isolated from xanthomonas campestris ptcc 1473 by ethyl methanesulfonate mutagenesis. the polysaccharide yield of one mutant, xc1473e2, was 30% better than that of the parent strain. it also sh...

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province-Pakistan, bacterial spot caused by Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria (Xcv) has decimated commercial tomato production. Field surveys were conducted in 2017 and 2018 to analyse the effects of producing areas KP, including Swat, Lower Dir, Mansehra. During growing seasons, diseased samples collected from fields, disease incidence severity documented. The p...

-----------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------Xanthan gum is a natural polysaccharide having an industrial importance. It is commonly called as heteropolysaccharide which is produced by Xanthomonas campestris. In the present investigation Xanthan gum fermentation by local isolates of Xanthomonas campestris NRRL-B-1449 from sugar...
