Comparative Genome Analyses of Clavibacter michiganensis Type Strain LMG7333^T Reveal Distinct Gene Contents in Plasmids From Other Clavibacter Species.

ABSTRACT: Clavibacter michiganensis, a Gram-positive, plant-pathogenic bacterium belonging to Actinobacteria, is a causal agent of bacterial canker in tomatoes. Although LMG7333^T is the type strain of C. michiganensis, it has not been used in many studies, probably because of a lack of the complete genome sequence being available. Therefore, in this study, the complete genome sequence of this type strain was obtained, and comparative genome analysis was conducted with the genome sequences of two other C. michiganensis strains and type strains of Clavibacter species, of which their complete genome sequences are available. C. michiganensis LMG7333^T carries one chromosome and two plasmids, pCM1 and pCM2, like two other C. michiga
