| erwinia gerundensis sp. nov., a cosmopolitan epiphyte originally isolated from pome fruit trees. | a survey to obtain potential antagonists of pome fruit tree diseases yielded two yellow epiphytic bacterial isolates morphologically similar to pantoea agglomerans, but showing no biocontrol activity. whole-cell maldi-tof mass spectrometry and analysis of 16s rrna and gyrb gene sequences suggested the possibility of a new species with a phylogenetic position in either pantoea or erwinia. multilocus sequence analysis (mlsa) placed the two strains in the genus erwinia and supported their classific ... | 2016 | 26813696 |
