Insight into biodiversity of the recently rearranged genus <i>Dickeya</i>.

ABSTRACT: The genus Dickeya includes plant pathogenic bacteria attacking a wide range of crops and ornamentals as well as a few environmental isolates from water. Defined on the basis of six species in 2005, this genus now includes 12 recognized species. Despite the description of several new species in recent years, the diversity of the genus Dickeya is not yet fully explored. Many strains have been analyzed for species causing diseases on economically important crops, such as for the potato pathogens D. dianthicola and D. solani. In contrast, only a few strains have been characterized for species of environmental origin or isolated from plants in understudied countries. To gain insights in the Dickeya diversity, recent extensive analyzes were performed on environ
