Four cell wall-degrading enzymes of <i>Xanthomonas campestris</i> pv. <i>campestris</i> determine bacterial escape from hydathodes to the leaf vasculature

Abstract excerpt
To colonize plants, pathogenic bacteria modulate the biology of the host employing different bacterial secretion systems. For example, the type II secretion system (T2SS) releases toxins, proteases, lipases and carbohydrate-degrading enzymes into the extracellular environment to promote tissue softening and soft rot. In this way, the T2SS promotes virulence of phytopathogenic Gram-negative bacteria. However, the r...
