Microbial colonization on the leaf surfaces of different genotypes of Napier grass.

Abstract excerpt

To address correlations between population sizes of microbes on the leaf surfaces and leaf morphological and physicochemical properties, various leaf morphological and physicochemical features as possible predictors of microbial population sizes on the leaf surfaces of four Napier grass cultivars were assessed. Results indicated microbes except for lactic acid bacteria (LAB) preferred to colonize the leaf...
