The goal of the project is to uncover genome sequences of bacteria that show biocontrol activity of plant pathogens. Bacteria were isolated from several plant species including Medicago truncatula, Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) and Solanum tuberosum (potato). Isolated bacteria fall into two different groups: Bacillus and Xanthomonas. We intend to do comparative genomics to find out differences and similarities in genomes of these bacteria.
