Development of Chemically Defined Media Reveals Citrate as Preferred Carbon Source for Liberibacter Growth

Liberibacter crescens is the closest cultured relative of four important uncultured crop pathogens. Candidatus L. asiaticus, L. americanus, and L. africanus are causal agents of citrus greening disease, otherwise known as huanglongling (HLB).
