a

Results are presented by genovar within clade A and/or by ST.

b

All type and reference strains were purchased as Agrobacterium (Rhizobium) radiobacter (A. tumefaciens) strains from the corresponding collection, except for A. vitis S4, A. vitis LMG 8750T, and A. rhizogenes LMG 63.

c

Phytopathogenicity data for collection strains were obtained from the corresponding collection databases and from references 6, 22, 24, and 30.

d

+, positive for the test; −, negative for the test; ND, not determined.

e

PDA CaCo3, differential production of acid from a glucose-containing medium associated with differential dissolution of CaCo3.

f

LMG, Laboratorium voor Microbiologie Universiteit Gent; CCUG, Culture Collection University of Göteborg; CFBP, Collection Française des Bactéries Phytopathogènes; bv, biovar when available for Agrobacterium (Rhizobium) strains from LMG collection; Fr, France; UD, undocumented.

g

For each locus, each different allele was assigned an arbitrary number.
