Xanthomonas campestris is a Gram-negative, rod-shaped plant pathogen most notable as the causal agent of black rot in crucifers including cabbage and broccoli. It produces the commercially valuable exopolysaccharide xanthan gum and inhabits the vascular tissue of infected plants worldwide. This aerobic bacterium spreads through infected seeds, rain splash, and contaminated tools.
Xanthomonas maliensis is a Gram-negative plant pathogen associated with diseases of apple and related Malus species. It inhabits the leaf and stem tissue of infected host plants in temperate fruit-growing regions. This bacterium spreads through contaminated plant material and environmental conditions that favor bacterial proliferation.
