Draft Genome Sequence of Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni Strain Xap33, Causal Agent of Bacterial Spot Disease on Almond

Abstract

We report the annotated genome sequence of Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni strain Xap33, isolated from almond leaves showing bacterial spot disease symptoms in Spain. The availability of this genome sequence will aid our understanding of the infection mechanism of this bacterium as well as its relationship to other species of the same genus.

Xanthomonas arboricola pv. pruni, causal agent of bacterial spot of stone fruits and almond: its genomic and phenotypic characteristics in the X. arboricola species context

“…Since then, the efforts to generate genomic data for this species have increased significantly. To date, genome sequences of 29 strains have been obtained (Cesbron et al ., ; Garita‐Cambronero et al ., ,b,c, ; Gétaz et al ., ; Harrison et al ., ; Higuera et al ., ; Ibarra Caballero et al ., ; Ignatov et al ., ; López‐Soriano et al ., ), as well as the whole sequence of the plasmid pXap41 of Xap (Pothier et al ., ) (Table ).…”

Draft genome sequence for virulent and avirulent strains of Xanthomonas arboricola isolated from Prunus spp. in Spain

“…Genome sequencing of X. arboricola strains has been completed for five strains isolated from walnut, three from peach, two from Musa sp ., one from almond [ 9 ], one from barley [ 10 ] and one from Turkish hazel [ 11 ]. Genome sequencing includes the plasmid pXap41 [ 12 ], present in the X. arboricola pv.…”

“…However, with the exception of the strain CITA 33 isolated from almond ( P. amygdalus , syn. P. dulcis ) in Spain [ 9 ], no detailed information about features of those genomes have been published. In the same way, there are no sequenced strains isolated from Japanese plum ( P. salicina ) or cherry rootstock ( P. mahaleb ).…”

Draft Genome Sequence of Xanthomonas arboricola Strain 3004, a Causal Agent of Bacterial Disease on Barley

“…The N 50 is 61,665 bp. The total size of the assembled genome is 4,765,897 bp (GC content, 65.3%), which is smaller than that of other sequenced X. arboricola strains ( 8 – 10 ).…”

“…The annotation for the strain 3004 genome sequence was conducted using the RAST server ( 11 ) and detected 4,113 coding sequences, 2 rRNAs, and 55 RNAs, representing 450 subsystems, which is similar to the 3,912–4,500 coding sequences in 436 to 449 subsystems for other X. arboricola strains ( 8 – 10 ). 16S rRNA comparison analysis performed with BLASTn ( 12 ) revealed 100% identity to other X. arboricola strains.…”
