Genome dynamics mediated by repetitive and mobile elements in Xanthomonas citri pv. durantae.

ABSTRACT: Xanthomonas is a highly evolved group of phytopathogenic bacteria infecting nearly 400 host plants having vast genomic resources available with heterogenicity in representation from different species and pathovars. Unfortunately, the wealth of data is extremely biased and restricted to a few Xanthomonas pathogens that infect economically important plants, while those reported to infect the most diverse plants remain neglected. In the present study, we report the first complete genome sequence of Xanthomonas citri pv. durantae that was reported to infect Duranta repens L. or golden dewdrop, a hedge plant of ornamental importance native to the American region. Phylogenomic analysis with its closest relatives placed it amongst X. citri pv. citri
