The beta-glucosidase BglC fulfills multiple functions in both primary metabolism and induction of pathogenicity Streptomyces scabiei, the causative agent common scab root tuber crops. Indeed, this enzyme hydrolyzes cellobiose cellotriose to feed glycolysis with glucose directly modifies intracellular concentration these cello-oligosaccharides, which are virulence elicitors. inactivation bglC le...

The genus Streptomyces includes several phytopathogenic species that cause common scab, a devastating disease of tuber and root crops, in particular potato. diversity scab is unknown. Likewise, the genomic context necessary for bacteria to incite symptom development not fully characterized. Here, we phenotyped sequenced genomes five strains from poorly studied lineage. These form new species-le...
