Environmental screening of bacteria for the presence of genes of interest is a challenging problem, due to the high variability of the nucleotide sequence of a given gene between species. Here, we tackle this general issue using a particularly well-suited model system that consists of the nodulation gene nodC, which is shared by...

The Xanthomonas campestris species causes different diseases on a wide range of Brassicas and is composed of at least four pathovars (campestris, incanae. raphani. unnamed). This species encompasses both vascular and non-vascular pathogens. A comparative genomic analysis of X campestris diversity was performed at the intraspecific and...

Various bacteria use non-ribosomal peptide synthesis (NRPS) to produce peptides or other small molecules. These molecules exhibit broad structural diversity and display biological activities that range from adaptation to unfavorable environments, communication or competition with other microorganisms in their natural habitat, or even to action...
