Involvement of a Plasmid-Encoded Type IV Secretion System in the Plant Tissue Watersoaking Phenotype of <i>Burkholderia cenocepacia</i>

Abstract excerpt

Burkholderia cenocepacia strain K56-2, a representative of the Burkholderia cepacia complex, is part of the epidemic and clinically problematic ET12 lineage. The strain produced plant tissue watersoaking (ptw) on onion tissue, which is a plant disease-associated trait. Using plasposon mutagenesis, mutants in the ptw phenotype were generated. The translated sequence of a disrupted gene (ptwD4) from a ptw-negative...
