Mutation of rpiA in Enterobacter cloacae Decreases Seed and Root Colonization and Biocontrol of Damping-Off Caused by Pythium ultimum on Cucumber
Strains of Enterobacter cloacae show promise as biocontrol agents for Pythium ultimum-induced damping-off on cucumber and other crops. E. cloacae A145 is a mini-Tn5 Km transposon mutant of strain 501R3 that was significantly reduced in suppression of damping-off on cucumber caused by P. ultimum. Str...
