Abstract:Bacterial diversity analyses often suffer from a bias due to sampling only from a limited number of hosts or narrow geographic locations. This was the case for the phytopathogenic species Dickeya solani, whose members were mainly isolated from a few hosts–potato and ornamentals–and from the same geographical area–Europe and Israel, which are connected by seed trade. Most D. solani members were clonal with the notable exception of the potato isolate RNS05.1.2A and two related strains that are clearly distinct f… Show more
