Enumeration of plant pathogenic Streptomyces on postharvest potato tubers under storage conditions
2004-01-01
Abstract excerpt
To determine the potential for spreading pathogenic Streptomyces on seed tubers into field soil, we enumerated populations of pathogens on diseased and healthy tuber surfaces. Since nonpathogenic Streptomyces strains are indistinguishable from pathogenic ones by colony morphology, we used colony polymerase chain reaction to detect txtA, a gene of the thaxtomin biosynthetic pathway. Of the total Streptomyces spp. i...
