Abstract excerpt
Xanthomonadins are yellow, membrane-bound pigments produced by members of the genus Xanthomonas. We identified an ethyl methanesulfonate-induced Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae mutant (BXO65) that is deficient for xanthomonadin production and virulence on rice, as well as auxotrophic for aromatic amino acids (Pig(-) Vir(-) Aro(-)). Reversion analysis indicated that these multiple phenotypes are due to a single...
