Taxonomic positioning of two biological control agents for plant diseases as Lysobacter enzymogenes based on phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA, fatty acid composition and phenotypic characteristics

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: To taxonomically position two bacterial strains conferring biological control activity towards plant diseases. METHODS AND RESULTS: Key phenotypic characteristics, including gliding motility and a high percentage of G + C content, indicated biocontrol strains N4-7 and C3 were essentially identical to those described for Lysobacter enzymogenes. Cellular fatty acid analysis confirmed a close relatedness of...
