AGROBACTERIUM RUBI
| Class: | Alpha Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Agrobacterium |
| Species: | Agrobacterium rubi |
| Description: | Agrobacterium rubi,bacteria were isolated from galls of all three cultivars and from hairy roots of Millenia and O'Neil onto D1 and D1M agar media at 27°C.All were gram negative, aerobic, and catalase positive with rod-shaped cells that synthesized β--galactosidase and metabolized D-glucose, D-arabinose, n-acetyl-glucosamine, maltose, mannitol, and malonate. Strains were negative for lysine decarboxylase, H2S production, indole, and 3-ketolactose production. While gall strains were urease positive and citrate variable (mostly positive), hairy root strains were urease negative, citrate positive, had poly-β-hydroxybutyrate inclusion granules, and clarified acid on potato dextrose agar containing 0.5% CaCO3. |
