Research Abstract |
We cloned and analyzed novel enzyme genes from Xanthomonas campestrisp v . campestrisATCC33913.As a result, it was revealed that xcc2399 and xcc2394have activities to degrade β-L-arabinofuranosides present on extinsin in plant cell walls. These enzymes are not involved in pathogenicity but thought to be related to arabinose uptake for carbon source metabolism.
