Project name: Candidatus Liberibacter americanus str. Sao Paulo

Description: The purpose of this study was to obtain the complete genomic DNA sequence of Ca. Liberibacter americanus (Lam) and compare it to the genomes of two different Liberibacter species: Ca. L. asiaticus (Las), with the same host range as Lam, and with Ca. L. solanacearum (Lso) with a host range on potato and tomato. The idea is to attempt to identify pathogenicity factors and/or host range determinants that were common only to the two species (Las and Lam) that attacked citrus.
