The genus comprises 13 species, the majority of which are plant colonizers. However, some species are occasionally isolated from environmental sources, including water and polluted soil, while others are opportunistic human pathogens. Four novel bacterial strains were isolated from diseased foliage of tomato and Boston fern in Florida, USA.

(; strain CCRMTAQ13), the causal agent of angular leaf spot in cashew, an important commodity crop in Brazil. Oxford Nanopore Sequencing Technology was used to assemble the genome of the in a single contig of 5,086,757 bp with a 64.

Citrus tristeza virus (CTV), a causal agent of diseases of economically important citrus species, shows intrinsic genetic stability. While the virus appears to have some mechanism that limits the accumulation of single-nucleotide variants, the production of defective viral genomes (DVGs) during virus infection has been reported for certain variants of CTV.

Bacterial-fungal interactions are pervasive in the rhizosphere. While an increasing number of endohyphal bacteria have been identified, little is known about their ecology and impact on the associated fungal hosts and the surrounding environment. In this study, we characterized the genome of an sp.
