The Gene Encoding NAD-Dependent Epimerase/Dehydratase, <i>wcaG</i>, Affects Cell Surface Properties, Virulence, and Extracellular Enzyme Production in the Soft Rot Phytopathogen, <i>Pectobacterium</i> <i>carotovorum</i>

<i>Pectobacterium carotovorum</i> is a gram-negative bacterium that, together with other soft rot Enterobacteriaceae causes soft rot disease in vegetables, fruits, and ornamental plants through the action of exoproteins including plant cell wall-degrading enzymes (PCWDEs). Although patho...
