• More recently, genome-wide analysis of multiple Xanthomonas strains mostly supports the previous phylogenies. (wikipedia.org)
  • There are many other exopolysaccharides made by other strains of Sphingomonas bacteria. (justia.com)
  • Response to light is important in pathogenicity of these bacteria and regulates surface attachment and production of biofilm. (wikipedia.org)
  • Phosphorylated PhoQ transfers the phosphate to PhoP, and activated PhoP further regulates the expression of downstream genes (PhoP regulon). (biomedcentral.com)
  • Dowson later reclassified the bacterium as Xanthomonas campestris and proposed the genus Xanthomonas.Xanthomonas was first described as a monotypic genus and further research resulted in the division into two groups, A and B. Later work using DNA:DNA hybridization has served as a framework for the general Xanthomonas species classification. (wikipedia.org)
  • The present invention relates to the production of exopolysaccharides and bacteria for the production of exopolysaccharides. (justia.com)
  • Xanthomonas produce xanthomonadins - yellow pigments that protect from radiation caused from natural light. (wikipedia.org)
  • More particularly, the bacteria of the present invention produce exopolysaccharides in a slime form that is unattached to the surface of the bacterial cell. (justia.com)
  • The two-component regulatory system (TCS) is a multi-variable regulatory mechanism, which is widely present in bacteria and contributes to the adaptation of bacteria to environmental stress. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The present invention is directed to a Sphingomonas bacteria and a method of producing exopolysaccharides by culturing a Shpingomonas bacteria in a fermentation broth for a time and temperature effective for providing a sphingan exopolysaccharide in a slime form. (justia.com)
  • There are at least 27 plant associated Xanthomonas spp. (wikipedia.org)
  • Contaminated seeds, weeds, infected plant debris are the main route of transmission. (wikipedia.org)
  • Infection starts with epiphytic stage - i.e. bacteria grow on the aerial tissues of plant host (leaf, fruit, etc) followed by endophytic stage when bacteria enter and colonise host tissues through wounds or natural openings. (wikipedia.org)
  • Typically, Xanthomonas T3SS injects a cocktail of 20-30 effector proteins that interfere with plant immune system and various host cellular processes. (wikipedia.org)
  • Xanthomonas uses surface polysacharides, adhesion proteins and type IV pili to attach to the surface and can form biofilms to sustain abiotic stresses (UV, drought, etc). (wikipedia.org)
  • The attached polymers form a capsule around the bacteria. (justia.com)
  • Distinct from most phoPQ systems of other microorganisms, two features were observed during the construction of phoP and phoQ single deletion mutant. (biomedcentral.com)
  • are evolutionary linked to opportunistic human pathogen Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, that was previously called Xanthomonas maltophilia. (wikipedia.org)
  • The bacteria can also infect more than other twenty woody or shrub species and quarantine programs are carried out in Italy. (nature.com)
  • Many of the effectors are presumably redundant as individual deletions of effector genes does not impair virulence, however mutations in T3SS apparatus has strong effect. (wikipedia.org)
  • This resistance phenotype may be attributed to multiple gene mutations. (lookformedical.com)
