pathovar ( ) is the causal agent of black rot disease of cruciferous plants. The ability of to elicit disease depends upon the synthesis of a number of factors, including the extracellular polysaccharide xanthan, extracellular plant cell wall degrading enzymes and cyclic glucan, as well as the forma...
