São Paulo's citrus industry is the most advanced in the world in terms of productivity, fruit and orange juice quality, research and development, technology transfer and sustainability. The productive strength of this important agribusiness chain in São Paulo results in significant economic, social and environmental values. However, the competitiveness and economic, social and environment…
Citrus canker is a disease caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (XAC), which affects citrus of importance for Brazil’s economy, whereas Xanthomonas fuscans subsp. aurantifolii (XauB) causes cancrosis, a softer form of the disease. In previous Young Researcher Project-FAPESP of our group (2009-2017), the enzymes phosphomannose isomerase (PMI, codified by xanB gene) and xy…
Citrus canker is an important phytopathology that affects citriculture worldwide, generating significant impacts on citrus fruit production, especially in Brazil, one of the five largest citrus producers in the world. Among the proteins involved in the pathogenicity of the bacterium that causes the disease, Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (XAC), is the XanB protein, a bifunctional enzyme a…
Xanthomonas is a bacterial genus of great economic interest due to its phytopathogenicity in several species of agricultural crops, such as citrus, tomato, pepper, soybean, among others. Current methodologies are inefficient in controlling this phytopathogen, and can often cause great environmental damage. In our research group, it was isolated the bacteriophage vB_XciM_LucasX, a new jumb…
