Three genes involved in the biosynthesis of biotin are clustered and co-regulated by biotin indicating a transcriptional feedback loop activation. Infectivity assays using fungal mycelium reveal that ΔbioB cultured on medium without biotin fails to infect citrus leaves; co-inoculation with biotin fully restores infectivity. The CP36 strain re-expressing a functional copy of bioB displays wild-type growth, sporulation and virulence. Taken together, we conclude that the attainability or accessibility of biotin is extremely restricted
