Abstract/Contents:"The small bacterium associated with ratoon stunting disease (RSD) of sugarcane was successfully cultured in a cellfree medium containing Muller-Hinton agar (3.8%), or Muller-Hinton broth (2.2%), hemoglobin (10 mĪ¼ g/ml), Isovitalex (BBL) (1%), asparagine (0.2%), glutamic acid (0.05%), KH2PO4 (0.1%), K2HPO4 (0.25%), MgSO4.7H2O (0.02%), sodium citrate (0.01%), ammonium sulphate (0.05%), CaCl2 (0.5 mĪ¼ g/ml), ZnSO4 (0.01 mĪ¼ g/ml) and CuSO4 (0.01 mĪ¼ g/ml). The same medium was also used to isolate and culture the RSD-like bacterium present in Bermuda grass. The bacterium recovered from either sugarcane or Bermuda grass can infect and multiply in a Sudan grass-sorghum hybrid. Wilting symptoms were observed in some of the inoculated plants. Cultured organisms exhibited lack of motility, absence of endospores, nonacid fastness, and Grampositive reaction but often irregular staining, and aerobic growth; a filamentous-rod (0.25-0.35 X 2-5 Ī¼m), clublike, or occasionally V-form morphology was observed. Tiny colonies (0.05-0.23 mm diameter) were observed in agar medium after 8-19 days of incubation at 30 C."
