ABSTRACT The draft genome of Xylella fastidiosa subsp. pauca strain 11399, a transformable citrus-pathogenic strain, is reported here. 11399 size 2,690,704 bp and has G+C content 52.7%. reveals the absence four type I restriction-modification system genes.
Here, we describe the draft genome sequences of two Xylella fastidiosa strains: Xf6c and Xf32, which have been obtained from infected coffee plants in Brazil, are associated with disease known as leaf scorch (CLS).
Strains of Xylella fastidiosa constitute a complex group bacteria that develop within the xylem many plant hosts, causing diseases significant economic importance, such as Pierce's disease in North American grapevines and citrus variegated chlorosis Brazil. X. has also been obtained from other host plants, direct correlation with development diseases, case coffee leaf scorch (CLS)--a potential to cause severe losses Brazilian industry. This paper describes thorough genomic characterization...
The genus Paracoccidioides consists of thermodymorphic fungi responsible for Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), a systemic mycosis that has been registered to affect ~10 million people in Latin America. Biogeographical data subdivided the five divergent subgroups, which have recently classified as different species. Genomic sequencing isolates, representing each these subgroups/species provided an important framework development post-genomic studies with fungi. However, functional annotations...
Autoinducer 2 (or AI-2) is one of the molecules used by bacteria to trigger Quorum Sensing (QS) response, which activates expression genes involved in a series alternative mechanisms, when cells reach high population densities (including bioluminescence, motility, biofilm formation, stress resistance, and production public goods, or pathogenicity factors, among others). Contrary most autoinducers, AI-2 can induce QS responses both Gram-negative Gram-positive bacteria, has been suggested...
Abstract This paper describes a transcriptomic profiling of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis (Pb) performed with the aid an RNA-seq-based approach, aimed at characterizing general transcriptome in this human pathogenic fungus, responsible for paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). Results confirm that ∼75% genes currently annotated P. genome are, fact, transcribed vivo and ∼19% them may display alternative isomorphs. Moreover, we identified 627 transcripts do not match any gene mapped genome,...
Xylella fastidiosa is a plant-infecting bacillus, responsible for many important crop diseases, such as Pierce's disease of vineyards, citrus variegated chlorosis, and coffee leaf scorch (CLS), among others. Recent genomic comparisons involving two CLS-related strains, belonging to X. subsp. pauca, revealed that one them carries frameshift mutation inactivates gene encoding an oxidoreductase the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) superfamily, which may play roles in determining...
