Species code:	XANC5
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Xanthomonadales; Xanthomonadaceae; Xanthomonas (TaxID: 316273) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Xantomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria is the causative agent of bacterial spot disease in pepper and tomato plants. The bacterium enters the plant tissue through stomata and wounds. Colonization induces macroscopically visible symptoms, called water-soaked lesions that become necrotic. It results in defoliation and spotted fruits, which causes important yield losses. Strain 85-10 is a well-established model for bacterium-plant interactions and is pathogenic for pepper but not for tomato plants. It harbors a circular chromosome and four plasmids, three of which were already known. The sequencing project has revealed the presence of a fourth plasmid, pXCV19, that contains almost exclusively genes for plasmid partitioning and conjugation. The largest plasmid, pXCV183, encodes a putative type IV secretion system, similar to the Icm/Dot system of human pathogens. Genome comparison analysis has shown that 548 CDS are unique to X. campestris pv. vesicatoria. The genome contains 66 IS elements, fifty-eight of which are located on the chromosome. Two large regions showing a G+C content that deviates significantly from the mean value carry parts of a type IV secretion system and components of the type 4 pilus, respectively. Another atypical region contains the complete xanthan biosynthesis cluster gumA to gumM. Fifty-six genes for tRNAs representing all 20 amino acids were identified. Fifty-four genes are located on the chromosome and two genes for tRNAs recognizing the AUA codon are exclusively located on the plasmids pXCV19 and pXCV183. X. campestris pv. vesicatoria has a single unipolar flagellum. It contains genes for all known protein transport systems in Gram-negative bacteria. Height genes involved in diffusible signal factor (DSF) production and perception are present. Genes for 28 primary transporters have been identified as well as genes for 17 complete secondary transporter-type export systems. Unlike other X. campestris pv. vesicatoria, strain 85-10 does not contain homologs of the well-studied AvrBs3 family of effectors.
