Details
| Description | Erwinia cacticida known as "Pectobacterium cacticida".Erwinia cacticida are motile, gram-negative, nonsporeforming rodswith peritrichous flagella and fimbriae. Capsules may be produced. The cells of some strains are almost round;short chains of cells are frequent in some strains.There is no genome found but 36 Nucleotide sequences are available for this ogranism.For more information about sequences just click on link which is shown in "GenBank Accession section". |
| Synonyms | Pectobacterium cacticida;Pectobacterium cacticidum. |
| Habitat/Source | Pectobacterium cacticida was isolated from cactus (Opuntia). |
| Pathogenicity | Pectobacterium cacticida causes soft rotting of cacti. Experimentally caused soft rot of saguaro, organ pipe, senita cacti, tomato,fruits, potato slices, and slices of carrot roots. |
