| Fatty acid profiling was used to study variation amongst strains of Xanthomonas campestris pv. casculorum (Xcv). they could be divided into five groups using cellular fatty acid profiles. group A strains represent a new and little known taxon and all came from plants of broom bamboo (Thysanolaena maxima) from Mauritius. Group B strains included the Xcv pathotype reference strain adn were from palms, broom bamboo and sugarcane from Mauritius, Reunion and Australia. Group C contained southern African and Malagasy strains from sugarcane and maize, together with X. campestris pv. holcicola strain. No Mascaarene strains fell into this group. Group D strains isolated form sugarcane, maize and royal palm (Roystonea regia) were from Mauritius and Reunion. These groups represented in the Mascarene Islands possivbly belong to three different Xnthomonas species. A further Group E comprised Xcv strain (NCPPB 182) from Puerto Rico, one X. vasicola pv. holcicola strain plus 6 other unclassified Xanthomonas strains causing red strip disease symptoms in sugarcane. Three of these groups occur on Mauritius and two occur on Reunion. Group B strains originally caused serious problems in noble canes. As resistant interspecific hybrids were introduced, group D strains appeared in Mauritius possibly being introduced from Reubion but having similar host ranges within the Gramineae and Palmae. the findings that 3 of these groups (A, B, D) can cause gumming disease in a grass species (T. maxima) and that 2 of them (B, D) also cause dgumming disease in sugar cane (Gramineae) and palms (Palmae) is unusual) | |
