Acquisition, Evolution, and Diversification of Genomic Islands: A Case Study of a Virulence Gene Cluster in <i>Pseudomonas syringae</i>
2024-06-12
Abstract excerpt
Genomic islands are widely distributed among bacteria, facilitating the dissemination of genes relevant to human, animal, and plant health. Herein, we explore the evolutionary history of a genomic island (Tox island) composed of a novel mobile genetic element (GInt) carrying an ∼25 kb gene cluster (Pht cluster) responsible for the biosynthesis of the phytotoxin phaseolotoxin, a virulence factor of the plant pathog...
