The environmental and genetic regulation of virulence mechanisms of Erwinia amylovora
Virulence of E. amylovora, the causal agent of fireblight, depends on the synthesis of harpin and amylovoran, an acidic exopolysaccharide and is enhanced by levan, produced from sucrose by the secreted enzyme levansucrase. Amylovoran synthesis and capsule formation were influenced by the presence of...
