Rathayibacter toxicus, Rathayibacter iranicus, Rathayibacter tritici, Rathayibacter rathayi, Clavibacter michiganensis, Pseudoclavibacter Genome sequencing and assembly

A population study of Rathayibacter toxicus from Australia, as well as a paired population of a related novel Rathayibacter species primarily found in Oregon. Several other Rathayibacter species were examined as well. The work reveals the ecological role of CRISPR in Rathayibacter toxicus and uses the novel Rathayibacter species as a comparison where a CRISPR-phage interaction is not involved in the evolution of the bacteria.

一项针对澳大利亚产毒拉特亚菌（Rathayibacter toxicus）及其在俄勒冈州发现的与之相关的创新拉特亚菌种群的研究。此外，还对其他几种拉特亚菌进行了考察。本研究揭示了CRISPR在拉特亚菌毒力菌中的生态作用，并利用该创新拉特亚菌种群作为对照，其中CRISPR噬菌体与细菌进化的相互作用并未涉及。
