  • Title: Genetic stability and xanthan gum production in Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris NRRL B1459.
    Author: Martínez-Salazar JM, Palacios AN, Sánchez R, Caro AD, Soberón-Chavez G.
    Journal: Mol Microbiol; 1993 Jun; 8(6):1053-61. PubMed ID: 8395632.
    Abstract:
    A transposon (Tn5-SC) was constructed that can be used to quantify genetic deletions or amplifications. This transposon was used to evaluate the genomic stability of Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris NRRL B1459 and we found that the genome of this bacterium is as stable as other Gram-negative bacteria or even more stable. Homologous recombination between plasmid sequences was determined in strain NRRL B1459 and was found to occur at a similar level to that reported for other Gram-negative bacteria. We report here that in X.c.c. NRRL B1459 there is no straightforward correlation between the occurrence of genetic rearrangements and frequency of homologous recombination. These data are discussed with respect to the reported instability of strain NRRL B1459 for xanthan gum production.
