| Abstract/Contents: | "Properties of two Gram-positive, xylem-limited bacteria and one mycoplasmalike organism (MLO) infecting Bermuda grass were compared. A bacterium originally isolated from Bermuda grass, but not the ratoon-stunting disease (RSD) bacterium from sugarcane, caused severe stunting described herein as Bermuda grass stunting disease (BSD). White leaf disease of Bermuda grass is presumed to be caused by an MLO that alone incites leaf chlorosis, axillary shoot proliferation, and stunting. In combination with the BSD bacterium a more severe disease reaction often developed that caused early death of the plant. Bacteria alone were associated with BSD. Plants with white leaf symptoms contained MLOs alone, but plants with white leaf symptoms combined with early death contained MLOs and the BSD bacterium. Cell wall preparations from cultured RSD and BSD bacteria contained major amounts of 2,4-diaminobutyric acid, glycine, glutamine, alanine, fucose, and rhamnose, indicating a possible relationship to the plant pathogenic corynebacteria. The RSD and BSD bacteria are antigenically related, but apparently neither are related to a number of species of corynebacteria and other Gram-positive bacteria." |
