Structural characterization of protein secretion genes of the bacterial phytopathogen Xanthomonas campestris pathovar campestris: relatedness to secretion systems of other gram-negative bacteria
The nucleotide sequence was determined of a 5.3 kb region of the Xanthomonas campestris pathovar campestris genome carrying a gene cluster encoding protein secretion and pathogenicity functions. A putative promot...

A multipurpose broad host range cloning vector and its use to characterise an extracellular protease gene of Xanthomonas campestris pathovar campestris
A multipurpose broad host range plasmid, pIJ3200, was constructed by inserting the polylinker-containing 445 by PvuII fragment of Bluescript M13 into the EcoRI site of the cosmid pLAFR1. Using this vector a prote...
