Rhizoviticin is an alphaproteobacterial tailocin that mediates biocontrol of grapevine crown gall disease. [PDF]
Abstract Tailocins are headless phage tail structures that mediate interbacterial antagonism. Although the prototypical tailocins, R- and F-pyocins, in Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and other predominantly R-type tailocins have been studied, their presence in Alphaproteobacteria remains unexplored.

Crown Gall Induced by a Natural Isolate of Brucella (Ochrobactrum) pseudogrignonense Containing a Tumor-Inducing Plasmid [PDF]
Crown gall disease in plants is caused by “Agrobacteria”, bacteria belonging to the Rhizobiaceae family, which carry a tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid. Unexpectedly, we found evidence that a natural isolate from a rose crown gall, called NBC51/LBA8980, was a
