The Union Is Strength: The Synergic Action of Long Fatty Acids and a Bacteriophage against Xanthomonas campestris Biofilm

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2020
Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris is known as the causative agent of black rot disease, which attacks mainly crucifers, severely lowering their global productivity. One of the main virulence factors of this pathogen is its capability to penetrate and

Xanthomonas bundabergensis sp. nov., Xanthomonas medicagonis sp. nov. and Xanthomonas tesorieronis sp. nov.: three members of group 1 Xanthomonas

open access: yesInternational Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology
Between 1976 and 2010, four bacterial isolates were collected in New South Wales and Queensland, Australia, and stored as part of routine biosecurity surveillance. Recently, these historic isolates were analysed as part of a larger project to enhance the taxonomic accuracy of our culture collection and improve Australia’s biosecurity preparedness ...

Route‐Dependent Toxicity and Ecological Selectivity of Melaleuca alternifolia Essential Oil in Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758 (Hymenoptera: Apidae)

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The intensification of agricultural practices has led to an increase in the use of insecticides, raising concerns about the exposure of non‐target organisms, particularly pollinators. In this context, plant‐derived essential oils have been proposed as environmentally friendlier alternatives due to their low persistence; however, their ...

Toward understanding the catalytic mechanism for two classes of bacterial phospholipid N‐methyltransferases

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Phospholipid N‐methyltransferases (Pmts) synthesize phosphatidylcholine in many bacteria. In this study, we compared the catalytic mechanisms of two bacterial Pmt classes: the Rhodobacter (R‐) and the Sinorhizobium (S‐) type. Representative enzymes for each class were derived from Rubellimicrobium thermophilum and Agrobacterium tumefaciens ...

Isolation of atypical wheat-associated xanthomonads in Algeria

open access: yesPhytopathologia Mediterranea, 2020
Bacterial leaf streak and black chaff are important bacterial diseases of wheat, which have been reported to be caused by Xanthomonas translucens. In 2016, symptoms of bacterial leaf streak and black chaff were observed in Algeria, at experimental wheat ...

Structural and thermodynamic analyses of a novel β‐1,2‐glucan binding mode in the ABC transporter solute‐binding protein Chy400_4166 from Chloroflexus aurantiacus

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Cyclic β‐1,2‐glucan (CβG)‐associated solute‐binding protein of type I ABC transporter was originally identified in Chloroflexus aurantiacus, a phototrophic bacterium. Crystal structures in complex with CβGs revealed unique binding modes that are fundamentally distinct from that of the short β‐1,2‐glucooligosaccharides‐binding protein.

Assembling highly repetitive Xanthomonas TALomes using Oxford Nanopore sequencing

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2023
Background Most plant-pathogenic Xanthomonas bacteria harbor transcription activator-like effector (TALE) genes, which function as transcriptional activators of host plant genes and support infection.

The Xanthomonas type IV pilus

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Microbiology, 2016
Type IV pili, a special class of bacterial surface filaments, are key behavioral mediators for many important human pathogens. However, we know very little about the role of these structures in the lifestyles of plant-associated bacteria. Over the past few years, several groups studying the extensive genus of Xanthomonas spp.

A lipid‐sensitive food choice behavior influences aging outcomes from a longevity‐promoting diet

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
C. elegans are exposed to a variety of bacteria in their natural environment and must be able to distinguish between beneficial and detrimental food sources. We show that C. elegans exposed to the bacterium from their natural habitat, Methylobacterium, disrupts lipid homeostasis, causing worms to avoid this bacterial species and choose the laboratory ...
