Analysis of the phenotypic profile of virulence in the mutant XAC3981, located in a putative operon with XAC3982 and XAC3983 genes (gray arrows). The mutant XAC3981 led to a marked reduction in the virulence phenotype in both Citrus sinensis and Citrus limonia after 14DAI. The growth curve of the mutant in vivo showed less bacterial titration along the infectious process, which could explain the absence of observed phenotypes. This mutated gene is flanked by htrA (upstream), and by two hypothetical proteins (downstream) whose orthologous pairs were found only in bacteria of c (See Additional file 6: Figure S4)
