Species code:	XANOM
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Xanthomonadales; Xanthomonadaceae; Xanthomonas (TaxID: 342109) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Xanthomonas oryzae is a Gram-negative bacterium and is the causative agent of bacterial blight on rice. Bacterial blight is a major disease in tropical Asian countries where high-yielding rice cultivars are often highly susceptible to it. It is a vascular disease resulting in tannish-gray to white lesions along the leaf veins. In severely infested fields, bacterial blight can cause yield losses up to 50%.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: Plant pathogen Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
