Resumo
As bactérias pertencentes ao gênero Xanthomonas constituem um dos grupos de fitopatógenos mais importantes na natureza, com capacidade de infectar aproximadamente 120 tipos diferentes de plantas monocotiledôneas e 270 dicotiledôneas. A bactéria Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc) é o agente causal do cancro cítrico, uma das principais doenças dos citros. Restrita à Flórida, a mancha bacteriana dos citros, causada por Xanthomonas alfalfae subsp. citrumelonis (Xacm), afeta principalmente o citrumelo ‘Swingle’. A bactéria Xanthomonas fuscans subsp. aurantifolii (Xfa) é o agente causal das cancroses B e C, encontradas apenas na América do Sul. As técnicas mais utilizadas na diferenciação e caracterização dos patógenos bacterianos, hibridização DNA-DNA (DDH) e sequenciamento da região do DNA que codifica o RNA ribossomal 16S (rRNA 16S), são onerosas, trabalhosas, lentas e de resultados restritos, não permitindo a comparação dos resultados obtidos entre diferentes estudos laboratoriais. Por isso, a técnica de análise de sequências multilocus (MLSA), considerada rápida, barata e confiável, tem sido recomendada para a caracterização e delimitação de espécies de patógenos bacterianos, tais como as do gênero Xanthomonas, permitindo o estabelecimento das relações filogenéticas por meio de genes housekeeping. Portanto, o objetivo do trabalho foi caracterizar os isolados de Xanthomonas (Xcc-A, Xfa-B, Xfa-C e Xacm) por meio da técnica MLSA. Foram utilizados 27 isolados de Xanthomonas patogênicas a citros, sendo quatro de X. citri subsp. citri (Xcc), três de X. fuscans subsp. aurantifolli B (Xfa-B), dezenove de X. fuscans subsp. aurantifolli C (Xfa-C) e um de X. alfalfae subsp. citrumelonis (Xacm). Os genes atpD, dnaK e fusA foram utilizados como genes housekeeping e para a reação da PCR...
Bacteria belonging to the genus Xanthomonas are one of the main groups of phytopathogens in nature, capable to infecting about 120 different monocots and 270 dicots plants. Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri (Xcc) is the causal agent of bacterial citrus canker, one of the major diseases of citrus. Restricted to Florida, citrus bacterial spot, caused by Xanthomonas alfalfae subsp. citrumelonis (Xacm), affects mainly citrumelo 'Swingle'. Xanthomonas fuscans subsp. aurantifolii (Xfa) is the causal agent of canker B and C, found only in South America. The most widely used techniques for the differentiation and characterization of bacterial pathogens, DNA-DNA hybridization (DDH) and analysis of DNA sequences coding for small subunit ribosomal RNAs (16S rRNA), are costly, cumbersome, slow and give limited results, do not allowing the interlaboratorial comparisons of the results. Therefore, the technique of multilocus sequence analysis (MLSA), which is considered fast, cheap and reliable, has been recommended for characterization and delineation of species of bacterial pathogens, such as the genus Xanthomonas, allowing the establishment of phylogenetic relationships between them through housekeeping genes. Therefore, the objective of this study was to characterize strains of Xanthomonas (Xcc-A, Xfa-B, Xfa-C and Xacm) using the MLSA technique. We used 27 strains of Xanthomonas pathogenic to citrus, being four Xcc, three Xfa-B, 19 Xfa- C and one Xacm. The PCR reaction was performed using the specific primers to amplify the atpD, dnaK and fusA genes. PCR products were purified, sequenced and the sequences were analyzed using the software CodenCode Aligner version 3.7.1. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using Maximum Likelihood based on the model of Tamura-Nei and using the software MEGA 5. Analyses ... (Complete abstract click electronic access below)
