Background Dickeya dadantii (formerly Erwinia chrysanthemi) is an opportunistic plant pathogen that causes soft-rot, wilt, and blight diseases on a wide range of plant species. This bacterial pathogen produces a large battery of pectinases for disassembly of the plant cell wall. D. dadantii catabolizes glucose by a fermentative pathway and reduce nitrates to nitrites. Pectinolytic enzymes produce indole and grow at 36 degrees Celsius. It catabolizes (+)-L-arabinose, myo-inositol, (+)-D-malate, malonate, D-mannose, mucate, saccharate and mesotartrate, but does not catabolize (+)-D-trehalose, methyl a-glucoside, (+)-D-arabitol or sorbitol. It is isolated from soft rot and wilt of a various range of plants, such as maize, pineapple, banana, rice, tobacco, tomato, Brachiaria ruziziensis and Chrysanthemum morifolium, as well as from water. D. dadantii possesses two O-serogroups O: 1 and O: 6 (adapted from PMID 16014461). (EBI Integr8)
