Abstract excerpt
Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris is a bacterial pathogen and the causal agent of black rot in crucifers. In this study, a clpX mutant was obtained by EZ-Tn5 transposon mutagenesis of the X. campestris pv. campestris. The clpX gene was annotated to encode ClpX, the ATP-binding subunit of ATP-dependent Clp protease. The clpX mutant exhibited reduced bacterial attachment, extracellular enzyme production and...
