Abstract/Contents: | "Rod-shaped bacteria were consistently isolated from Toronto creeping bentgrass plants exhibiting wilt symptoms. Bacteria were grown in nutrient broth for 72 hours, pelleted by centrifugation, resuspended in 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) and used to inoculate individual Toronto creeping bentgrass plants. Plants with injured roots and/or leaves were immersed in the bacterial suspension whereas injured control plants were immersed in 0.01M phosphate buffer. Typical wilt symptoms developed on the inoculated plants after 5-7 days. Isolation and reinoculation showed similar results. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy confirmed the presence of bacteria within xylem vessels of inoculated plants. The isolated bacterium was similar in ultrastructure to those found in diseased plants from the field. These results prove that the isolated bacterium is the cause of "bacterial wilt of Toronto creeping bentgrass." |
