Complete Genome Sequences of Six Copper-Resistant <i>Xanthomonas</i> Strains Causing Bacterial Spot of Solaneous Plants, Belonging to <i>X. gardneri</i> , <i>X. euvesicatoria</i> , and <i>X. vesicatoria</i> , Using Long-Read Technology

Abstract

<i>Xanthomonas vesicatoria</i>, <i>Xanthomonas euvesicatoria</i>, and <i>Xanthomonas gardneri</i> cause bacterial spot disease. Copper has been applied since the 1920s as part of integrated management programs. The first copper-resistant strains were reported some decades later. Here, we fully sequenced six <i>Xanthomonas</i> strains pathogenic to tomato and/or pepper and having a copper-resistant phenotype.
