Abstract excerpt
Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) causes bacterial blight in rice. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) consitute a diverse group of biopolyesters synthesized by bacteria under nutrient-limited conditions. The phaC gene is important for PHA polymerization. We investigated the effects of phaC gene mutagensis in Xoo strain PXO99A. The phaC gene knock-out mutant exhibited reduced swarming ability relative to that of the...
