Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the Pantoea ananatis pan-genome reveals factors underlying its ability to colonize and interact with plant, insect and vertebrate hosts
Pieter De Maayer,Wai Yin Chan,Enrico Rubagotti,Stephanus N. Venter,Ian K. Toth,Ian K. Toth,Paul R. J. Birch,Paul R. J. Birch,Paul R. J. Birch,Teresa A. Coutinho +9 more
TL;DR: The pan-genome incorporates a large number of genes encoding proteins that may enable P. ananatis to colonize, persist in and potentially cause disease symptoms in a wide range of plant and animal hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome Sequence of Pantoea ananatis LMG20103, the Causative Agent of Eucalyptus Blight and Dieback
Pieter De Maayer,Wai Yin Chan,Stephanus N. Venter,Ian K. Toth,Ian K. Toth,Paul R. J. Birch,Paul R. J. Birch,Paul R. J. Birch,Fourie Joubert,Teresa A. Coutinho +9 more
TL;DR: The genome sequence of P. ananatis LMG20103 isolated from diseased Eucalyptus in South Africa is reported, indicating that this pathogen is a Gram-negative plant pathogen that causes disease on a broad range of host plants.
Journal ArticleDOI
The large universal Pantoea plasmid LPP-1 plays a major role in biological and ecological diversification
Pieter De Maayer,Wai Yin Chan,Jochen Blom,Stephanus N. Venter,Brion Duffy,Theo H. M. Smits,Teresa A. Coutinho +6 more
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis reveals that LPP-1 is universal to all Pantoea spp.
GENOME ANNOUNCEMENTS Genome Sequence of Pantoea ananatis LMG20103, the Causative Agent of Eucalyptus Blight and Dieback
Pieter De Maayer,Wai Yin Chan,Stephanus N. Venter,Ian K. Toth,Paul R. J. Birch,Fourie Joubert,Teresa A. Coutinho +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the genome sequence of P. ananatis LMG20103 isolated from diseased Eucalyptus in South Africa, which is a Gram-negative plant pathogen that causes disease on a broad range of host plants.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This project sequenced the genome of Fusarium circinatum, a fungal pathogen of pine that causes pitch canker, a disease of great concern to the South African forestry industry and the first eukaryotic organism for which the complete genome has been sequenced locally.
