A Filamentous Hemagglutinin-Like Protein of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. citri, the Phytopathogen Responsible for Citrus Canker, Is Involved in Bacterial Virulence
Figure 5
Swarming motility of X. axonopodis pv. citri wild type and ΔXacFhaB, ΔXacFhaC and ΔgumD strains.
(A) The different strains were centrally inoculated on SB plates fortified with 0.7% agar. After 6 days incubation at 28°C the plates were photographed on a light transiluminator to denote the different swarming phenotype. (B) The motility zone of swarming colonies grown as in A was measured at different times of incubation during a period of 10 days. Each data point showed in the figure is an average of 4 independent experiments, error bars indicate the standard error. The results are representative of four independent experiments.
