A Metabolic Regulator Modulates Virulence and Quorum Sensing Signal Production in Pectobacterium atrosepticum

Plant cell wall–degrading enzymes (PCWDE) are key virulence determinants in the pathogenesis of the potato pathogen Pectobacterium atrosepticum. In this study, we report the impact on virulence of a transposon insertion mutation in the metJ gene that codes for the repressor of the methionine biosynt...
