Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii Exhibits Surface Motility, Which is a Critical Aspect of Stewart's Wilt Disease Development on Maize
Pantoea stewartii subsp. stewartii is a plant-pathogenic bacterium that causes Stewart's vascular wilt in maize. The organism is taxonomically described as aflagellated and nonmotile. We recently showed that P. stewartii colonizes the xylem of maize as sessile, cell-wall-adherent biofilms. Biof...
