Origin and diversification of Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri pathotypes reveale...
Patané, José Salvatore Leister; Martins Junior, Joaquim; Rangel, Luiz Thiberio; Belasque Junior, José; Digiampietri, Luciano AntonioXanthomonas citri subsp. citri pathotypes cause bacterial citrus canker, being responsible for severe agricultural losses worldwide. The A pathotype has a broad host spectrum, while A* and Aw are more restricted both in hosts and in geography. Two previous phylogenomic studies led to contrasting well-supported clades for sequenced genomes of these pathotypes. No extensive biogeographical or divergence dating an...
Serratia liquefaciens FG3 isolated from a metallophyte plant sheds light on the...
Caneschi, Washington Luiz; Sanchez, Angelica Bianchini; Felestrino, Érica Barbosa; Lemes, Camila Gracyelle de Carvalho; Cordeiro, Isabella FerreiraSerratia liquefaciens strain FG3 (SlFG3), isolated from the flower of Stachytarpheta glabra in the Brazilian ferruginous fields, has distinctive genomic, adaptive, and biotechnological potential. Herein, using a combination of genomics and molecular approaches, we unlocked the evolution of the adaptive traits acquired by S1FG3, which exhibits the second largest chromosome containing the largest conjugative plas...
Detection and identification of Xanthomonas pathotypes associated with citrus d...
Fonseca, Natasha Peixoto; Felestrino, Érica Barbosa; Caneschi, Washington Luiz; Sanchez, Angelica Bianchini; Cordeiro, Isabella FerreiraBackground. In Citrus cultures, three species of Xanthomonas are known to cause distinct diseases. X. citri subsp. citri patothype A, X. fuscans subsp. aurantifolii pathotypes B and C, and X. alfalfae subsp. citrumelonis, are the causative agents of cancrosis A, B, C, and citrus bacterial spots, respectively. Although these species exhibit different levels of virulence and aggressiveness, only limited alternati...
Identification and analysis of seven effector protein families with different a...
Assis, Renata de Almeida Barbosa; Polloni, Lorraine Cristina; Patané, José Salvatore Leister; Thakur, Shalabh; Felestrino, Érica BarbosaThe Xanthomonadaceae family consists of species of non-pathogenic and pathogenic γ-proteobacteria that infect different hosts, including humans and plants. In this study, we performed a comparative analysis using 69 fully sequenced genomes belonging to this family, with a focus on identifying proteins enriched in phytopathogens that could explain the lifestyle and the ability to infect plants. Using a computati...
Novel insights into the genomic basis of citrus canker based on the genome sequ...
Moreira, Leandro Marcio; Almeida Junior, Nalvo Franco de; Potnis, Neha; Digiampietri, Luciano Antonio; Adi, Said Sadique; Bortolossi, Julio CesarBackground: Citrus canker is a disease that has severe economic impact on the citrus industry worldwide. There are three types of canker, called A, B, and C. The three types have different phenotypes and affect different citrus species. The causative agent for type A is Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri, whose genome sequence was made available in 2002. Xanthomonas fuscans subsp. aurantifolii strain B causes canke...
