  abstract = {{B}ackground: {X}anthomonads are plant-associated bacteria responsible for diseases on economically important crops. {X}anthomonas fuscans subsp. fuscans ({X}ff) is one of the causal agents of common bacterial blight of bean. {I}n this study, the complete genome sequence of strain {X}ff 4834-{R} was determined and compared to other {X}anthomonas genome sequences. {R}esults: {C}omparative genomics analyses revealed core characteristics shared between {X}ff 4834-{R} and other xanthomonads including chemotaxis elements, two-component systems, {T}on{B}-dependent transporters, secretion systems (from {T}1{SS} to {T}6{SS}) and multiple effectors. {F}or instance a repertoire of 29 {T}ype 3 {E}ffectors ({T}3{E}s) with two {T}ranscription {A}ctivator-{L}ike {E}ffectors was predicted. {M}obile elements were associated with major modifications in the genome structure and gene content in comparison to other {X}anthomonas genomes. {N}otably, a deletion of 33 kbp affects flagellum biosynthesis in {X}ff 4834-{R}. {T}he presence of a complete flagellar cluster was assessed in a collection of more than 300 strains representing different species and pathovars of {X}anthomonas. {F}ive percent of the tested strains presented a deletion in the flagellar cluster and were non-motile. {M}oreover, half of the {X}ff strains isolated from the same epidemic than 4834-{R} was non-motile and this ratio was conserved in the strains colonizing the next bean seed generations. {C}onclusions: {T}his work describes the first genome of a {X}anthomonas strain pathogenic on bean and reports the existence of non-motile xanthomonads belonging to different species and pathovars. {I}solation of such {X}ff variants from a natural epidemic may suggest that flagellar motility is not a key function for in planta fitness.},
