Serological Studies of the Genus Xanthomonas

Monoclonal Antibodies Specific for Xanthomonas campestris Bacteria Pathogenic on Wheat and other Small Grains, in Comparison with Polyclonal Antisera

“…It has proven to be useful in the rapid detection of seed pathogens. But concerning the xanthomonads, until now, cross-relationships at the species or pathovar level have occurred with various techniques like agglutination, immunodiffusion, immunofluorescence, indirect hemagglutination test, or dotimmunobinding assay (AZAD and SGHAAD 1988, CLAFLIN and RAMUNDO 1987, ELROD and BRAUN 1947, FANG et al 1950, LAZAROVITS et al 1987. Hence practical application of serological techniques has been limited.…”

Serological and Bacteriophage Sensitivity Studies on Xanthomonas vesicatoria Strains Isolated from Tomato and Pepper

“…It is known that the bacteria belonging to the genus Xanthomonas produce extracellular mucoid material particularly on complex media containing carbohydrates. This mucoid material is serologically active and results a less specific agglutination of the bacteria, as shown by ELROD and BRAUN (1947). The Xanthomonas vesicatoria strains applied in the experiments produced abundant mucoid material on nutrient agar.…”

TAXONOMIC ANALYSIS WITH THE ELECTRONIC COMPUTER OF SOME XANTHOMONAS AND PSEUDOMONAS SPECIES

“…In subgroup Ib, similarly, X. malvacearum and X. campestris, with a 79% similarity, may rel)resent a single species. These organisms have been shown to be closely related serologically by a number of workers (Brooks, Nain, and Rhodes, 1925;Link and Link, 1928;Horgan, 1931;Elrod and Braun, 1947a).…”
