Global diversity and distribution of prophages are lineage-specific within the <i>Ralstonia solanacearum</i> plant pathogenic bacterium species complex
2021-10-20
Abstract excerpt
Ralstonia solanacearum is a destructive plant pathogenic bacterium and the causative agent of bacterial wilt disease, infecting over 200 plant species worldwide. In addition to chromosomal genes, its virulence is mediated by mobile genetic elements including integrated DNA of bacteriophages, i.e ., prophages, which may carry fitness-associated auxiliary genes or modulate host gene expression. Although experimenta...
