First Report of Aglaonema Bacterial Blight Caused by Erwinia chrysanthemi in Taiwan

Lactose metabolism in Erwinia chrysanthemi.

Wild-type strains of the phytopathogenic enterobacterium Erwinia chrysanthemi are unable to use lactose as a carbon source for growth although they possess a beta-galactosidase activity. Lactose-fermenting derivatives from some wild types, however, can be obtained spontaneously at a frequency of about 5 X 10(-7). All Lac+ derivatives isolated had acquired a constitutive lactose transport system...

Lactose and melibiose metabolism in Erwinia chrysanthemi.

A Lac+ mutant of Erwinia chrysanthemi was isolated from the Lac- wild type on lactose agar. beta-Galactosidase was expressed independently of lactose transport in both the mutant and the wild type, and neither strain expressed thiogalactoside transacetylase. Lactose transport and alpha-galactosidase, constitutive in the Lac+ strain, were coordinately induced in the Lac- strain by melibiose and ...

occurrence of fire blight caused by erwinia amylovora on quince in kerman province*

fire blight is one of the most destructive diseases of stone and pome fruits. the causal pathogen is erwiniaamylovora, species in the family enterobacteriaceae. pears are the most susceptible, but apples, quinces and some other rosaceous plants are also vulnerable. in iran, the disease has been reported for the first time in baraghan in alborz province (zakeri & sharifnabi 1991). fire blight pr...

First Report of Foliar Blight on Dendropanax morbifera Caused by Alternaria panax

Leaf spot and blight disease was observed on two-year-old seedlings of Dendropanax morbifera (Korean name: Hwangchil tree) during July of 2008 in Jindo Island, Korea. Symptoms included yellow-brown to dark brown irregularly enlarged spots frequently located along the veins of leaves. The lesions were often surrounded by chlorotic haloes. Severe leaf blight and subsequent defoliation occurred wh...
