Comparative analysis of flagellar proteins encoded by different species of R h izob i aceae bacteria. Las, ‘Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus’ (CP001677); Laf, ‘Candidatus Liberibacter africanus’ (CP004021); Lso, ‘Candidatus Liberibacter solanacearum’ (CP002371); Lcc, Liberibacter crescens strain BT‐1 (CP003789); Atu, Agrobacterium tumefaciens (AE007869); Sme, Sinorhizobium meliloti strain 1041 (AL591688).

^*Indicates a shorter primary structure for FlgJ homologues when compared to A. tumefaciens and S. meliloti.

^†No homologues were identified. + and − indicate presence and absence of a homologue in the analysed genome, respectively.
