Draft genome sequence of Streptomyces acidiscabies 84-104, an emergent plant pathogen

J Bacteriol. 2012 Apr;194(7):1847. doi: 10.1128/JB.06767-11.

Abstract

A draft genome sequence of the plant pathogen Streptomyces acidiscabies 84-104, an emergent plant pathogen, is presented here. The genome is among the largest of streptomycetes, at more than 11 Mb, and encodes a 100-kb pathogenicity island (PAI) shared with other plant-pathogenic streptomycetes. The presence of this conserved PAI, and the remnants of a conserved integrase/recombinase at its 3' end, supports the hypothesis that S. acidiscabies emerged as a plant pathogen as a result of this acquisition.
