title: Analysis of the argK-tox gene cluster in nontoxigenic strains of Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola.
abstract: The analysis of 46 isolates obtained directly from different and distant common bean fields from the northwestern part of Spain revealed that they do not produce phaseolotoxin. The isolates were classified as race 5, and their analysis revealed that they do not carry the argK-tox gene cluster involved in the biosynthesis of the phaseolotoxin.
