Figure 4. Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris wild-type strain (lower horizontal streak) is yellow and mucoid.  Mutant strains (pigB¯) are deficient for xanthomonadin and extracellular polysaccharide production (vertical streaks, left and right) but are complemented proximal to the wild-type strain that is producing the diffusible factor.
