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.本研究针对源自澳大利亚的有毒罗氏杆菌（Rathayibacter toxicus）种群开展分析，并同步设置了一组配对种群，该配对种群来自主要分布于美国俄勒冈州的一种相关新罗氏杆菌物种。此外，本研究还对其他数种罗氏杆菌属物种进行了检测。本研究揭示了成簇规律间隔短回文重复序列（CRISPR）在有毒罗氏杆菌中的生态功能，并以该新型罗氏杆菌物种作为对照，这类细菌的演化过程并未涉及CRISPR与噬菌体的互作。
