Isolation of bacteriophages infecting Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae and genomic characterization of novel phage vB_XooS_NR08 for biocontrol of bacterial leaf blight of rice

Bacterial leaf blight (BLB) disease of rice caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) is one of the most destructive diseases worldwide in rice-growing regions. The Ineffectiveness of chemicals in disease management has increased the interest in phage therapy. In this study, we isolated 19 bacte...
