Abstract
ABSTRACT
A draft genome sequence of the plant pathogen
Streptomyces acidiscabies
84-104, an emergent plant pathogen, is presented here. The genome is among the largest of streptomycetes, at more than 11 Mb, and encodes a 100-kb pathogenicity island (PAI) shared with other plant-pathogenic streptomycetes. The presence of this conserved PAI, and the remnants of a conserved integrase/recombinase at its 3′ end, supports the hypothesis that
S. acidiscabies
emerged as a plant pathogen as a result of this acquisition.
