An efficient microtiter system to determine Agrobacterium biovar
European Journal of Plant Pathology 107 (7), 757-760
Abstract: A microtiter system for biovar characterization of Agrobacterium strains which simplifies the analysis of a large number of isolates is described. This method is based on incubation of bacterial strains in microplate wells previously amended with media specifically used by the different Agrobacterium biovars. More than 150 purified Agrobacterium strains isolated from the most common host plants were analysed by the microtiter system. It proved to be an excellent tool using less reagents, time and space for incubation in comparison with the traditional method.
