Table S5 --- Version 2: Strongest occurrences of a putative C. crescentus xylose-induction motif upstream of X. campestris and X. citri genes. Genes predicted to be in transcription units with genes downstream of the motif are shown indented. Annotations and gene names were taken from GenBank (1).

The additional genes are included because of their involvement with xylose catabolism. References 1. da Silva, A. C., J. A. Ferro, F. C. Reinach, C. S. Farah, L. R. Furlan, R. B. Quaggio, C. B.
