Novel Genomic Locus with Atypical G+C Content that Is Required for Extracellular Polysaccharide Production and Virulence in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae
Three exopolysaccharide (EPS)- and virulence-deficient mutants of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae, the causal agent of bacterial leaf blight of rice, were isolated by Tn5 mutagenesis. These insertions are not located within the gum gene cluster. A 40-kb cosmid clone that restored EPS production and vi...
