Abstract excerpt
Filamentous bacteriophage cf infects Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, a serious plant pathogen which causes citrus canker. To understand the immunity regulation of bacteria infected with bacteriophage cf, we applied DNA shuffling to mutate the cf intergenic region. One of the immunity mutants, cf-m3 (NCBI Taxonomy ID: 3050368) expressed a 106-109 fold greater superinfection ability compared with wild type cf....
