A taxonomic study of plant pathogenic Corynebacterium species

摘要: Abstract Methods that have been developed and standardised in our laboratory for the determination of cultural biochemical characters plant pathogenic bacteria used to provide data numerical analyses 121 strains 13 phytopathogenic species Corynebacterium Lehmann & Neumann 1896. Our results show them be a relatively homogeneous group organisms which should classified within single genus. Other workers made proposals exclude coryneform from Corynebacterium, but we consider detailed comparative evidence is insufficient justify their transfer any other However, cannot support present division pathogens into species, propose following classification.
