Biochemical characteristics of plant pathogenic Klebsiella pneumoniae causing root bark necrosis and wilt in pomegranate

Abstract

A total 35 biochemical tests included in these identification test kit were used. These tests were ONPG, lysine utilization, ornithine utilization, urease, phenyl alanine deamination, Voges proskauer, AbstractA plant pathogenic Klebsiella pneumoniae causing root bark necrosis and wilt in pomegranate was designated as Klebsiella pneumoniae strain Borkar by NCBI (accession number: KY941097.1) on the basis of 16s rRNA partial gene sequence submitted. This strain was studied for its biochemical characteristics as it was a new bacterial pathogen causing plant disease and its biochemical characteristics was compared with the known biochemical characteristics of other Klebsiella pneumoniae sub species and Klebsiella species.Citation: Ajayasree TS, Borkar SG.
