Genome sequencing of miscellaneous Xanthomonas campestris from WHRI collection

Xanthomonas campestris is a Gram-negative bacterial species that encompasses numerous pathovars, each capable of causing disease in different plant species. It is a plant pathogenic bacterium that affects a wide range of economically important crops, including vegetables, fruits, cereals, and ornamental plants.Xanthomonas campestris is characterized by its rod-shaped cells and the ability to move using a single polar flagellum. It is a facultative anaerobe, meaning it can grow both in the presence and absence of oxygen. The bacteria are typically spread through water, wind, insects, contaminated tools, and plant debris.Here we sequence genomes of some miscellaneous strains of X. campestris from the WHRI collection.
