title: Draft genome of the xanthan producer Xanthomonas campestris NRRL B-1459 (ATCC 13951).
abstract: Xanthomonas campestris NRRL B-1459 was used in pioneering studies related to the biotechnological production of xanthan, the commercially most important polysaccharide of bacterial origin. The analysis of its genome revealed a 5.1Mb chromosome plus the first complete plasmid of an X. campestris strain applied in biotechnology.
