XANTHOMONAS CAMPESTRIS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Xanthomonas |
| Species: | Xanthomonas campestris |
| Description: | It is used in the commercial production of a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide – xanthan gum – that is an efficient viscosifier of water and that has many important uses, especially in the food industry. |

| Pathogenicity: | Causes bacterial leaf spot (BLS) on peppers and tomatoes.It causes symptoms throughout the above-ground portion of the plant including leaf spots, fruit spots and stem cankers.. This species is a major cause of black rot in crucifers, a disease that results in massive tissue degeneration. |
