Abstract

The absence, in the biomass, of glutamic-oxalacetic and glutamic-pyruvic transaminases and the prevalance of gamma-glutamic transpeptidase were taken as basic criteria to differentiate betweenErwinia carotovora var.carotovora fromE. carotovora var.citrullis andE. toxica. For further identification, detection of cholesterol in the biomass confirmed thetoxica species whereas the absence of glucose confirmed thecitrullis variety.
