Mutations of ousA Alter the Virulence of Erwinia chrysanthemi
A negative correlation was observed between the aggressiveness of several Erwinia chrysanthemi strains on potato tuber and their osmotic tolerance. The disruption of the ousA gene encoding the major osmoprotectant uptake system highly enhanced bacterial virulence on potato tubers. The ousA disruptio...
