| Sumario: | Xanthomonas is an important genus of plant-pathogenic bacteria that affects agronomic and economically important crops, causing serious economic losses. In fact, several Xanthomonas species are considered regulated quarantine pests. Due to the lack of effective control measures to treat plant-pathogenic bacteria, innovative control tools are needed to carry out integrated disease management. In this regard, bacteriophages (phages), viruses of bacteria, constitute a promising biocontrol tool. In this work, we report the isolation and characterization of 11 novel Xanthomonas arboricola pv. juglandis phages belonging to different families and genera of the class Caudoviricetes. Infectivity matrix in more than 60 isolates of different xanthomonads and other phytopathogenic bacteria suggests that these phages are specific to the Xanthomonas genus, with different host ranges depending on the isolates tested. Interestingly, some of these phages showed relevant features to be used as biocontrol tools to combat pathogenic Xanthomonas spp. as important as X. oryzae or X. citri. |
