Phenotypic variation of Pseudomonas putida and P. tolaasii affects the chemotactic response to Agaricus bisporus mycelial exudate.

Abstract excerpt

The chemotactic response of wild-type Pseudomonas putida and P. tolaasii, and a phenotypic variant of each species, to Agaricus bisporus mycelial exudate was examined. Both P. putida, the bacterium responsible for initiating basidiome development of A. bisporus, and P. tolaasii, the causal organism of bacterial blotch disease of the mushroom, displayed a positive chemotactic response to Casamino acids and to A....
