SUMMARY Common scab is a severe disease worldwide affecting tap root crops and potato tubers. It is caused by soil-borne filamentous bacteria belonging to the genus Streptomyces. Streptomycetes usually are saprophytic microorganisms, but a few species have acquired the ability to infect underground
Turnips (Brassica rapa L var. rapifera) purchased from a New Brunswick supermarket in the winter of 2003 contained discernable corky scab-like lesions on their surfaces. The turnips were surface-disinfested with a warm-water rinse, and microorganisms from excised lesions were isolated with
Using chiral-phase HPLC, we determined the stereochemical configuration of the phosphatidylglycerols (PtdGro) synthesized in vitro from 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (PtdCho, R configuration) or 1,2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (PtdEtn, R configuration) and glycerol by
In this study, the effect of temperature on the stereoselectivity of phospholipase D (PLD) toward the two primary hydroxyl groups of glycerol in the transphosphatidylation reaction of phosphatidylcholine to phosphatidylglycerol (PtdGro) was investigated. For this purpose, PLD from bacteria
Ten Streptomyces isolates from common scab lesions on carrots (Daucus carota) were characterized. Morphological and physiological characterization of the carrot isolates established that they were closely related to S. scabies. DNA-DNA hybridization studies were carried out between DNA from the
