Flagella and Pili of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines are associated with motility, biofilm formation and virulence on soybean
2018-08-01
Abstract excerpt
Targeted mutations in flgK, and pilD genes in strain KU‐P‐SW005 of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines, the cause of pustule disease on soybean, led to altered motility phenotypes. The flgK mutants lacked a monopolar flagellum and lost swimming motility, whereas the pilD mutant lacked type IV pili and was unable to move via twitching, a form of surface motility not previously reported for this pathogen. The flgK a...
