Molecular Characterization of the Negative Regulator PXO_02944 in Virulence, Extracellular Polysaccharide Production and Biofilm Formation in Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae
【Objective】Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae(Xoo) is the causing pathogen of bacterial blight of rice. Xoo can use extracellular polysaccharide(EPS) and enzymes, T3SS and its effectors for sucessful infection of rice. It has been shown that cyclic di-GMP signaling plays an important role in regulation of virulence in Xoo. PXO_02944, the GGDEF, EAL and REC domain containing protein, belongs to c-di-GMP signaling protein family. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the structure and function of the PXO_0...
