Xylella fastidiosa modulates exopolysaccharide polymer length and the dynamics of biofilm development with a β-1,4-endoglucanase

ABSTRACT Xylella fastidiosa is a Gram-negative bacterium that causes disease in many economically important crops. It colonizes the plant host xylem and the mouthparts of its insect vectors where it produces exopolysaccharide (EPS) and forms robust biofilms. Typically, the ability to form a biofilm...
