Abstract
Pseudomonas solanacearum is a heterogeneous species which cause wilt on many hosts in tropical and subtropical countries. Traditionally, they are grouped into five races and five biovars (HAYWARD, 1991). The race and biovar classifi-cations are not always related, except for those race 2 (banana strains) is biovar 1, and race 3 (potato strains) is biovar 2.
Description
Pseudomonas solanacearum, P. syzygil, and blood disease bacterium (bdb) are endemic in Indonesia. Despite they have different host plants, these pathogens show similarity on several biochemical and physiological aspects. Study on sodium dodecyl sulphate polycrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of the whole protein patterns of isolates of the pathogens was aimed to help in determining the pathogens. Whole protein profile of 30 isolates of P solanacearum comprising biovar 1-3 from different hosts, 5 isolates of P. syzygii from clove plants and 3 isolates of bdb from banana plants were studied in 1994 at the Departement of Crop and Disease Management, IACR-Rothamsted, U.K. and the patterns were numerically analyzed using a computerized program (GelCompar Version 2.1).
