Description |
Xanthomonas is a Gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium known for being a
common plant pathogen. Xanthomonas campestris causes black
rot, which affects crucifers such as Brassica and Arabidopsis. Symptoms include
marginal leaf chlorosis and darkening of vascular tissue, accompanied by
extensive wilting and necrosis. This bacterium is grown commercially to produce
the exopolysaccharide xanthan gum, which is used to control viscosity and as a
stabilizing agent in many industries. Xanthomonas affects many types of
hosts, including citrus, beans, grapes, cotton, and rice. Typical symptoms of
the disease include lesions on the leaves, fruit, and stems as well as twig
dieback (Ref.1).
Glutathione metabolism in Xanthomonas occurs
within cells in two closely linked, enzymatically controlled reactions that
utilize ATP and draw on nonessential amino [...] |
