Whole-genome comparisons between Xac and Xcc We compared the genomes at the nucleotide level using the program MUMmer with default values. At the amino acid level the genomes were compared using programs developed by our bioinformatics team. Genes g and h were considered orthologues if h is the best BLASTP hit for g and vice versa, with e-values less than or equal to 10 220. A gene was considered strain-specific if it had no hits with an e-value 10 25 or less.
