A Novel Signaling Pathway Connects Thiamine Biosynthesis, Bacterial Respiration, and Production of the Exopolysaccharide Amylovoran in Erwinia amylovora

Erwinia amylovora is a plant pathogen causing necrotrophic fire blight disease of apple, pear, and other rosaceous plants. This bacterium colonizes host vascular tissues via the production of exopolysaccharides (EPSs) including amylovoran. It is well-established that the nearly ubiquitous plasmid pE...
