Characterisation of pectobacterium wasabiae causing blackleg and soft rot diseases in South Africa

2013-02-01

Abstract excerpt

Pectolytic bacteria were isolated from potato tubers and stems showing tuber soft rot and blackleg symptoms. Approximately half (52 %) of the isolates could grow at both 27 and 37 °C while another half (48 %) failed to grow at 37 °C. All isolates could be amplified with primers specific to the pectate lyase (pel) gene. Carbon utilisation profiles could not conclusively identify these isolates. PCR amplification us...
