Xanthomonas campestris strain CFBP 7700 Xc-CFBP7700-G115

Xanthomonas campestris strain CFBP 7700, also referred to as Xc-CFBP7700-G115, is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped bacterium that exhibits mobility due to the presence of flagella. This strain is classified as an aerobic organism and has a mesophilic temperature range, with an optimal growth temperature of 25°C. It possesses a single replicon and is characterized by a dual-membrane structure. This bacterium is primarily associated with various hosts belonging to the Viridiplantae kingdom, including economically important crops such as Brassica oleracea var. capitata, Solanum tuberosum, Oryza sativa, and several others within the Brassicaceae family. X. campestris strain CFBP 7700 is known for its pathogenicity in plants, causing significant health issues such as leaf-blight disease, bacterial blight of stock, and bacterial leaf spot. The ecological role of Xanthomonas campestris strain CFBP 7700 is notable, as it engages in free-living interactions with its host plants. This relationship can lead to detrimental effects on crop health, impacting agricultural productivity and food security. Understanding the traits and behavior of X. campestris is essential for developing effective management strategies against the diseases it causes, particularly in economically important agricultural systems.
