GPE PC73
Guadeloupe
Sugarcane
Leaf scald
Xanthomonas albilineans produces a potent toxin, albicidin, which is responsible for the characteristic whitening of sugar cane leaves and stunted plant growth. Infection with Xanthomonas albilineans can lead to rapid wilting and death. Plants infected with Xanthomonas albilineans can be asymptomatic with active disease occurring after a period of stress, such as a drought. Xanthomonas albilineans GPE PC73 was isolated in Guadeloupe and is closely related to strains isolated in Asia, Africa, and North America.

Rice
Bacterial blight
This strain is a representative strain of race 6 isolated in the Philippines. This plant pathogen affects rice plants by causing leaf blight, a major problem in Asian countries where rice production occurs on an industrial scale. This organism enters the xylem and spreads throughout the vascular tissue of the plant, which results in wilting of the plant, or to leaf blight if the infection occurs later in development.

This pathovar can be divided into three races, pepper race 1 which causes disease in all peppers, pepper race 2 which causes a limited disease in peppers that have a specific resistance gene, and a tomato strain which causes a limited disease in all peppers. Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria strain 85-10 is a pepper race 2 strain.

This plant pathogen affects rice plants by causing leaf blight, a major problem in Asian countries where rice production occurs on an industrial scale. This pathogen enters the xylem and spreads throughout the vascular tissue of the plant, which results in wilting of the plant, or to leaf blight if the infection occurs later in development.

Black rot
This species is a major cause of black rot in crucifers, a disease that results in massive tissue degeneration. It also produces an extracellular polysaccharide known as xanthan, which is harvested commercially as a food stabilizing agent for use in industry. This strain is a derivative of strain NCPBB No. 1145. The original was isolated from an inflected cauliflower in Sussex, United Kingdom, in 1958. Strain 8004 is a spontaneous rifampicin resistant strain and has been used extensively in many studies.

Rice
Bacterial blight
This plant pathogen affects rice plants by causing leaf blight, a major problem in Asian countries where rice production occurs on an industrial scale. Losses of up to 50% of the total crop can occur in extreme cases. This pathogen enters the xylem and spreads throughout the vascular tissue of the plant, which results in wilting of the plant, or to leaf blight if the infection occurs later in development.
