The bacterium Xanthomonas

  • Chapter

Abstract

Since the reviews on the biology of Xanthomonas by Starr (1981) and Bradbury (1984, 1986), many new data have appeared. In this chapter we will emphasize the common bacteriological features and the physiological potential of Xanthomonas. It is our aim to stress the wealth of physiological activities displayed by this bacterium. We will not dwell on the use of the different features in taxonomy. Some topics which have been reviewed by others will only be referred to and will not be treated in detail here.
