Deletion of <i>pbpC</i> Enhances Bacterial Pathogenicity on Tomato by Affecting Biofilm Formation, Exopolysaccharides Production, and Exoenzyme Activities in <i>Clavibacter michiganensis</i>

Penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) are considered essential for bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis and cell wall assembly. <i>Clavibacter michiganensis</i> is a representative Gram-positive bacterial species that causes bacterial canker in tomato. <i>pbpC</i> plays a signif...
