Mutation in a Gene Required for Lipopolysaccharide and Enterobacterial Common Antigen Biosynthesis Affects Virulence in the Plant Pathogen Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica

Mutation in a Gene Required for Lipopolysaccharide and Enterobacterial Common Antigen Biosynthesis Affects Virulence in the Plant Pathogen Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica

Spontaneous bacteriophage-resistant mutants of the phytopathogen Erwinia carotovora subsp. atroseptica (Eca) SCRI1043 were isolated and, out of 40, two were found to exhibit reduced virulence in planta. One of these mutants, A5/22, showed multiple cell surface defects including alterations in synthe...
