Genus species
Description and significance
Infected plants have leaves and fruits with brown colored lesions surrounded by oily, water soaked yellow rings. These lesions may in time fall out creating a sharp hole in the leaves. This bacteria may be found in any or all different types of citrus. These include oranges, grapefruits, limes, lemons, etc.
Genome structure
Cell structure and metabolism
Ecology
This bacteria occurs in agricultural and urban areas. It generally affects citrus trees in high temperature areas, heavy rainfalls, and high winds. Due to wind and rainfall, this bacteria may spread throughout situated areas. It is most likely to infect plants in high temperature and heavy rainfall weather. This causes citrus canker, which may progressively and ultimately lead to economic losses on citrus industries.
Pathology
This bacteria contaminates citrus plants that prevents progressive fruit and health production. It diminishes fruit production of trees, ultimately leading to no fruits and death of plant. This disease may contaminate plants and even equipments.
