The genus Xanthomonas is amongst the most common families of plant which are associated with bacterial diseases. The gram-negative and phytopathogenic bacteria, Xanthomonas campestris causes black rot in all cruciferous and brassicas plants such as Brassica oleracea var. botrytis, Brassica oleracea var. capitata or Raphanus sativus and is recognized as one of the most devastating cruciferous diseases globally. This bacterium’s seed-borne stage is a key mechanism of viability and long-distance transmission. The bacterial cells cause infection on leaf edges of the plants via stomata, resulting in circular lesions or via hydathodes, resulting in V-shaped lesions. Xanthomonas campestris is used as a xanthan gum producer in large-scale industrial procedures. In this study, a selective media was prepared for isolation of bacteria, gram staining along with different biochemical tests were performed for identification purposes.
