Bacteria were isolated from several plant species including Medicago truncatula, Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) and Solanum tuberosum (potato). Isolated bacteria fall into two different groups: Bacillus and Xanthomonas. We intend to do comparative genomics to find out differences and similarities in genomes of these bacteria.
