Two bioactive cyclic dipeptides, cyclo(L-Pro-L-Tyr) and cyclo(D-Pro-L-Tyr), were isolated from the culture broth of Streptomyces sp. strain 22-4 and tested against three economically important plant pathogens, Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, Ralstonia solanacearum and Clavibacter michiganensis. Both cyclic dipeptides were active against X. axonopodis pv. citri and R. Solanacearum with MIC of ...

Yuen, G. Y., Alvarez, A. M., Benedict, A. A., and Trotter, K. J. 1987. Use of monoclonal antibodies'to monitor the dissemination of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. Phytopathology 77:366-370. Monoclonal antibodies (MCA) were used to detect and differentiate on FS from 98% of samples (341 of 348) of lesions with definite black rot strains of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris isolated f...

DNA macroarrays of 279 genes of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri potentially associated with pathogenicity and virulence were used to compare the transcriptional alterations of this bacterium in response to two synthetic media. Data analysis indicated that 31 genes were up-regulated by synthetic medium XVM2, while only 7 genes were repressed. The results suggest that XVM2 could be used as an in...

Genomic DNA of 191 strains of the family Pseudomonadaceae, including 187 strains of the genus Xanthomonas, was cleaved by EcoRI endonuclease. After hybridization of Southern transfer blots with 2-acetylamino-fluorene-labelled Escherichia coli 16+23S rRNA probe, 27 different patterns were obtained. The strains are clearly distinguishable at the genus, species, and pathovar levels. The variabilit...

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, the causal agent of black rot disease, produces a suite of extracellular cell-wall degrading enzymes (CWDE) that are involved in bacterial virulence. Polygalacturonase (PG) is an important CWDE and functions to degrade the pectic layers of plant cell walls. Although previous studies have documented the virulence functions of PG in Erwinia and Ralstonia spe...

Here we provide the mass-spectrometry and in silico interaction network dataset of proteins identified on our research article on surface proteomic analysis from Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (XAC) cells grown in vivo (infectious) and in vitro (non-infectious, control) by 2D-DIGE approach. Fluorescence labeling of proteins were performed on intact cells followed by cellular lysis and labeled s...

The proline iminopeptidase from Xanthomonas campestris pv. citri is a serine peptidase that catalyses the removal of N-terminal proline residues from peptides with high specificity. We have solved its three-dimensional structure by multiple isomorphous replacement and refined it to a crystallographic R-factor of 19.2% using X-ray data to 2.7 A resolution. The protein is folded into two contiguo...
