Genomic and phenotypic characterization of Xanthomonas cynarae sp. nov., a new species that causes bacterial bract spot of artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.). 2000 50 4 1471 1478 International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 1466-5026 1466-5034 10.1099/00207713-50-4-1471 10939652 The pathovar X. cynarae pv. cynarae may be distinguished based on host specificity to artichoke. Phenotypically, X. cynarae pv. cynarae can be differentiated by its glycerol utilization and insensitivity to guanidine hydrochloride and aztreonam. The X. cynarae type strain, CFBP 4188T, also represents the X. cynarae pv. cynarae pathotype strain.
