Total genomic DNA of Xoo strains was isolated using MagAttract HMW DNA Mini Kit (QIAGEN). DNA samples were sequenced using a single molecule real-time (SMRT-Pacbio) platform, P4-C6 chemistry. For each strain, at least two SMRT cells were used, generating around 180× coverage per genome. De novo assembly was conducted using the hierarchical assembly pipeline (HGAP) implemented in Canu v.1.5 software33 (link). Raw PacBio reads were mapped against the resulting contigs using blasR aligner (https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/blasr) and corrections were conducted with the variant-caller software utilizing the arrow algorithm (https://github.com/PacificBiosciences/GenomicConsensus).
Genome annotation and gene prediction were conducted using the Prokka annotation pipeline34 (link) and the NCBI Prokaryotic Genome Annotation (PGAP)35 (link). Genome sequences were deposited in the GenBank under BioProjects PRJNA497307 and PRJNA497605. Additional reported and publicly available genomes in GenBank were retrieved and used for comparisons (Supplementary Table 1).
