Phase variation in LPS O-antigen biosynthetic gene cluster of the rice pathogen <i>Xanthomonas oryzae</i> pv. <i>oryzae</i>
2023-04-27
Abstract excerpt
Bacteria respond to environmental cues in different ways. Phase variation is one such adaptation where heritable and reversible changes in DNA aid bacteria to alter the expression of specific genes. The bacterial plant pathogen Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) causes the serious bacterial blight disease of rice. The mucoid phenotype of Xoo colonies is attributed to the secreted exopolysaccharide (EPS), xantha...
