Twenty-seven local isolates of Agrobacterium and twenty-three isolates supplied by other laboratories were compared by biochemical tests, serology, protein patterns following gel electrophoresis, and by pathogenicity. All isolates fell into two distinct biotypes and this was supported by their serological reactions and by their protein patterns. Biotype 1 contained tumour-inducing, root-proliferating, and non-pathogenic forms; biotype 2 contained both these pathogenic forms but no non-pathogens…

Identification and characterization of bacteria isolated from crown galls on stone fruits in Poland

Analysis of biochemical and physiological features distinguished 50 groups with different phenotypic profiles, but the tested traits were not consistent for strains classing to one taxon, showing limited value of biochemical tests in identiflcation procedures.

Characterization of agrobacteria from weeping fig (Ficus benjamina)

Ficus benjamina plants, galled both at epi- and hypogeous parts, were observed in Italy and in The Netherlands, and these were the first records of the appearance of weeping fig crown gall in Europe, suggesting potential for spread of the disease through latently infected plant propagation material produced as cuttings or by tissue culture.

Isolation and Characterization of Burkholderia gladioli from Orchids in Hawaii.

Field and laboratory data suggest the frequent use of these chemicals in nurseries may have inadvertently resulted in the development of copper and streptomycin resistance in B. gladioli from orchids.

Characteristics of Greek Isolates of Agrobacterium tumefaciens (E. F. Smith & Townsend) Conn.

The characteristics of 51 Greek isolates of Agrobacterium tumefaciens obtained from almond, peach, pear and grapevine were studied and both biotypes of Keane, Kerr & New (1970) were recognized.

Numerical Taxonomic Analysis of Agrobacterium

The present division of the genus into species is based on phytopathogenicity and does not reflect the natural relationships amongst the agrobacteria.

Isolation and characterisation of Agrobacterium species

Isolates from this group shared characteristics of both biotype 1 and biotype 2 Agrobacterium and were designated biotypes 1-2, which were abundant in the rhizosphere.

The Classification, Identification and Nomenclature of Agrobacteria

In order to devise a scheme for the identification and differentiation of agrobacteria, 50 strains of Agrobacterium, mostly those maintained in the National Collection of Plant Pathogenic Bacteria,…

Biotypes of Agrobacterium tumefaciens in Hungary

Isolates of Agrobacterium tumefaciens from Hungary were separated into three biotypes on the basis of their physiological characters and many isolates with biotype-intermediate characters were found.

Eucalyptus occidentalis plantlets are naturally infected by pathogenic Agrobacterium tumefaciens

In the Sidi M’djahed nursery (Algeria), over 60,000 eucalyptus plantlets exhibited tumour-like growths localized at the crown of the plants that resembled crown galls caused by Agrobacterium tumefaciens, indicating the presence of a nopaline-type pTi in these strains.
