katA and ahpC, encoding monofunctional catalase and alkyl hydroperoxide reductase, respectively, play important protective roles against peroxide toxicity in Xanthomonas campestris pv. phaseoli (Xp). The expression of both katA and ahpC is controlled by the global peroxide sensor and transcriptional...
