Abstract

Citrus Canker was caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis. It causes serious damage to Citrus industry. The
pathogen was isolated from the infected fruits of citrus orchards in the present study. It was characterized by
preliminary studies and identified as gram negative rod shaped organism. Analysis of the protein profiles by
SDS-PAGE revealed differences. A change was observed in total proteins, soluble and insoluble proteins. Total
proteins showed difference between 116 KDa and 18.4 KDa with reference to the marker. Plasmid DNA
analysis also showed differences. These differences in the protein and plasmid profile quote the pathogenicity
of the bacteria towards the citrus crop.
