Xanthomonas albilineans diversity and identification based on rep-PCR fingerprints.
PCR with BOX and ERIC primers was used to analyze DNA of Xanthomonas albilineans and other bacteria associated with sugarcane. Generated fingerprints permitted clear separation of X. albilineans from other bacteria and revealed variation within the species. Good agreement between fingerprint groups and geographic origin and serovars was observed.
