Relative virulence of three isolates of Piscirickettsia salmonis for coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch Relative virulence of three isolates of Piscirickettsia salmonis for coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch

Piscirickettsia salmonis was first recognized as the cause of mortality among pen-reared coho salmon Oncorhynchus kisutch in Chile. Since the initial isolation of this intracellular Gram-negative bacterium in 1989, similar organisms have been described from several areas of the world, but the associated outbreaks were not reported to be as serious as those that occurred in Chile. To...

Biochemical analysis of plant protection afforded by a nonpathogenic endophytic mutant of Colletotrichum magna Biochemical analysis of plant protection afforded by a nonpathogenic endophytic mutant of Colletotrichum magna

A nonpathogenic mutant of Colletotrichum magna (path-1) was previously shown to protect watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus) seedlings from anthracnose disease elicited by wild-type C. magna. Disease protection was observed in stems of path-1-colonized cucurbits but not in cotyledons, indicating that path-1 conferred tissue-specific and/or localized protection...
