Background: The Xanthomonas citri pv. citri (X. citri) is a phytopathogenic bacterium that infects different species of citrus plants where it causes canker disease.

In this work, we report the purification and in vitro functional analysis of MBP, encoded by the malE gene, of the plant pathogen Xanthomonas citri, responsible for the canker disease affecting citrus plants throughout the world. The X.
