Forty-seven chemicals, including antibiotics, detergents, quaternary ammonium salts, mercury compounds, disinfectants and protectants, were tested for their effectiveness as potato seed piece disinfectants after inoculating each potato set with bacterial ring rot. None of the substances tested was as effective as a solution of acidified mercuric chloride (2:1000 + 1 per cent HCl) in a 10-minute dip treatment which gave 93 to 98 per cent control. A more effective control of the disease (100 per cent) was obtained when seed stock contained only 1 per cent diseased tubers.

Studies are described on the laboratory detection of bacterial ring rot of potatoes caused by Corynebacterium sepedonicum (Spieckermann and Kotthoff) Skaptason and Burkholder. A cultural–microscopic procedure, involving the preincubation of aseptically removed infected material on a suitable medium, was found in general to be more reliable than direct examination of Gram-stained smears from diseased material. This was especially noticeable with lightly infected potatoes. The use of both methods would likely decrease the possibility of incorrect diagnosis. A serological method also was found to be of value in detecting ring rot in tubers and in plant extracts. Antiserum for one typical strain of C. sepedonicum (CS850) agglutinated all strains tested, and also reacted with all infected samples examined but not with uninfected material. This organism might be used to prepare bulk antiserum for distribution to various laboratories engaged in the diagnosis of bacterial ring rot. Attempts to isolate a phage for C. sepedonicum were unsuccessful.

The aerobic endophytic bacterial population in "healthy" potato plants was found to vary from fewer than 1 × 103 to 4.2 × 107 cells/cm3 of stem tissue and from 0 to 1.6 × 104 cells/cm3 in tubers. No significant correlation was found between the bacterial population in stems and tubers of the same plant, nor was there a significant difference in the bacterial populations of virus-free plants when compared with PVX-infected plants. Strains of Micrococcus, Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Flavobacterium, Xanthomonas, Agrobacterium, and coryneforms were isolated in addition to several isolates that could not be identified. All isolates were nonpathogenic, including the coryneforms, some of which were morphologically indistinguishable from Corynebacterium sepedonicum but which were biochemically different.

Lysis of mid-log phase cells of the Gram-positive bacterium, Corynebacterium sepedonicum, by a combination of lysozyme treatment and incubation with alkaline sodium dodecyl sulfate at 56 °C led to the recovery of a single plasmid. The plasmid was purified in CsCl density gradients, and its molecular weight estimated to be 31 megadaltons (46 kilobases), as determined from its relative mobility in agarose gels, from its contour dimensions in electron micrographs, and from the size of the fragments generated when it was cleaved with various restriction endonucleases. Thirteen widely divergent isolates of C. sepedonicum were screened for the presence of plasmid, and of these, 11 were shown to harbour a single plasmid at a level of about 30 copies per cell. Cleavage of the plasmid with PstI gave an identical banding pattern in agarose gels for the fragments from all of the plasmid-carrying isolates. The relevance of plasmid incidence and distribution in C. sepedonicum is discussed in relation to the possibility of developing a test for the detection of bacterial ring rot by using plasmid DNA as a hybridization probe.

ABSTRACT Inoculation Techniques of Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus, the Cause of Bacterial Ring Rot Disease, on Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.). Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus, the cause of bacterial ring rot disease on potatoes, has been detected in potato fields in Pangalengan. To anticipate the spread of the pathogen, researches on the desease epidemiology are urgent to be carried out. Artificial inoculation techniques will be useful in the epidemiological studies. The objective of this reasearch was to evaluate some inoculation techniques, which are simple, cheap and fast in causing disease symptoms. The experiment was carried out at the laboratory and glasshouse of Balai Penelitian Tanaman Sayuran (Balitsa), Lembang. The experiment was arranged in the randomized block design with five treatments of inoculation technique and five replications. The treatments were (a) soaking wounded seed tubers in pathogen suspension, (b) soaking not wounded seed tubers in pathogen suspension, (c) pathogen suspension was injected into leaf axil, (d) pathogen suspension was injected into seed tubers, and (e) pathogen suspension was poured into the planting holes. The results showed that stabbing and soaking tubers in pathogen suspension caused the shortest incubation period (17 days after inoculation) and the highest disease incidence (60%).

Dalam upaya mencegah penyebaran penyakit busuk cincin bakteri di Indonesia, perlu adanya studi epidemiologi patogen tersebut. Pada penelitian epidemiologi akan diperlukan cara menginokulasi tanaman secara buatan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan teknik inokulasi buatan yang dapat menyebabkan periode inkubasi yang lebih singkat dan persentase kejadian penyakit busuk cincin bakteri paling tinggi pada tanaman kentang. Percobaan dilaksanakan di rumah kaca dan laboratorium penyakit Balai Penelitian Tanaman Sayuran (Balitsa), Lembang. Percobaan dirancang secara rancangan acak kelompok dengan lima perlakuan teknik inokulasi Cms dan lima ulangan, yaitu inokulasi dengan (a) merendam ubi benih yang telah dilukai dalam suspensi bakteri, (b) merendam ubi benih tanpa dilukai dalam suspensi bakteri, (c) suspensi bakteri ditusukkan pada ketiak daun tanaman kentang, (d) suspensi bakteri ditusukkan pada ubi benih, dan (e) suspensi bakteri disiramkan pada lubang tanam. Masing-masing ulangan terdiri dari lima tanaman.
