Figure 6From: Potential complications when developing gene deletion clones in Xylella fastidiosa Aggregation of Xylella fastidiosa and Escherichia coli. A suspension of X. fastidiosa (left) or E. coli (right) in SCP buffer five minutes after vigorous resuspension by vortexing and pipetting. Twenty microliters was pipetted onto slides and viewed by microscopy at 40X. While E. coli cells dispersed, X. fastidiosa present as aggregates, and could not be evenly dispersed.Back to article page
