Identification of the Leaf Nodule Bacterial Strain PeH220 as Erwinia herbicola subsp. herbicola

Abstract

Strain PeH₂20 of leaf nodule bacteria has been identified as a member of Erwinia herbicola subsp. herbicola by the computer-assisted clustering of 60 phenotypic data, by DNA: rRNA hybridizations with ¹⁴C-rRNA from Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas fluorescens and P. acidovorans, and by percent GC determinations. The phenotypical features of the strain have been described.
