Proteomic is now increasingly considered as useful technique to reveal genetic diversity among different bacteria isolates differentiating live pathogens from dead ones. This book, therefore, reveals proteomic diversity of thirty Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) isolates, the causative agent of rice bacterial leaf blight disease in West Africa, using isozyme polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) analysis. The study revealed 23 isozyme loci in which SKDH produced 33.3-93.3 % polymorphism, EST and G6PH equally gave 40-96.7 % polymorphism within the Xoo isolates enzyme profile....
