The role of genomic islands in virulence of Pectobacterium carotovorum subspecies brasiliensis on potatoes
Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum is primarily responsible for soft rotting of potato tubers, although several strains have been shown to cause blackleg of potato stems. In contrast, P. atrosepticum is best known as a seedborne pathogen that causes blackleg. It is also responsible for …

Identification of novel regulators of the necrosis-inducing protein (Nip) and carbapenem antibiotic production in the phytopathogen Pectobacterium
Pectobacterium is a Gram-negative phytopathogen that causes soft rot and blackleg disease of potatoes. It produces plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) and is capable of swimming and swarming motility. Some strains also produce a simple β-lactam carbapenem antibiotic, …

Soft rot Enterobacteriaceae-molecular detection and biocontrol under in vitro and in vivo conditions
… in recent years illustrate the losses caused by Pectobacterium and Dickeya in Europe, and a lack of effective control strategies. These indicate a need for the formulation of commercially available and effective biocontrol measures to counteract soft rot pathogens. <br/><br/>The first aim of this …

Conjugative transfer and expression of an integrative and conjugative element in Pectobacterium atrosepticum : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University
… that enhances virulence of the potato pathogen Pectobacterium atrosepticum SCRI1043, was investigated by assessing frequency of acquisition into strains of SCRI1043 in which HAI2 had been removed. HAI2 was transferred into engineered recipients confirming it as indeed a functional ICE. Further …

The treatment of bacterial disease of plants by bacteriophage coated nanoparticles
… the control of tomato plant soft rot, caused by Pectobacterium carotovorum, as a model system.Scottish crops were used as a source to isolate new bacteriophages,followed by triple isolation of single plaques formed after infection. Using the enrichment technique, that uses bacteria to isolate the …

Investigating [NiFe]-hydrogenases in γ-Proteobacteria
… genetic and biochemical characterisation of Pectobacterium atrosepticum SCRI1043, a potato pathogen, led to the identification of a novel FHL complex. The [NiFe]-hydrogenase in this organism is similar to that of Escherichia coli Hydrogenase-4, with an extended membrane domain similar to that …

Determining role of bacteria associated with bacterial spot on pumpkin and squash fruit in the North Central Region of the United States
… Microbacterium, Pantoea, Peanibacillus, Pectobacterium, and Pseudomonas. In-vitro studies of interactions between non-X. cucurbitae and X. cucurbitae showed that Pantoea isolates had antibacterial activity against X. cucurbitae. None of the tested non-X. cucurbitae isolates was pathogenic …

Characterization of ToxINPa-sensitive bacteriophages of Serratia sp. ATCC 39006
… system called ToxINPa, first found in Pectobacterium atrosepticum. ToxINPa consists of an endoribonuclease toxin and RNA antitoxin and is inactive as a heterohexameric complex until infection by certain phages causes destabilization of ToxINPa, leading to bacteriostasis and, eventually, …

Taxonomy and comparative genomics of bacterial species associated with onion bulb rot focusing on Rahnella species
… Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pantoea eucalypti, and a Pectobacterium? sp. Koch’s postulates confirmed that all these bacteria were causal agents of onion bulb rot. This study emphasised the importance of identifying bacterial pathogens to reduce pre- and post-harvest losses and sustain onion production …
