A strain of Pseudomonas syringae which does not belong to pathovar phaseolicola produces phaseolotoxin
European Journal of Plant Pathology 101 (5), 483-490
Abstract: A bacterial strain, CFBP 3388, isolated from Vetch (Vicia sativa, L.) was identified as P. s. pv. syringae on the basis of nutritional and biochemical patterns which were obtained with classical tests and the Biolog^TM system. It caused necrotic symptoms typical of P. s. pv. syringae on bean leaves and pods after artificial inoculation. However, the isolate caused a citrulline-reversible inhibition of E. coli in phaseolotoxin bioassay. Furthermore, with CFBP 3388 DNA as template a 1900 bp DNA fragment, specific for the phaseolotoxin DNA cluster of P. s. pv.phaseolicola, was amplified by PCR. This is the first demonstration that an isolate of P. syringae that is not pv. phaseolicola can produce phaseolotoxin.
