Potato scab is prevalent in all potato-growing areas of Jeju Island and causes economically significant losses. Streptomyces species are known as pathogens of potato scab. In this study, we analyzed the 16S rRNA sequences of Streptomyces spp, which are isolated from potato scab lesions in Jeju Island, and constructed 16S rRNA phylogenetic tree. All isolates were clearly differentiated into the genus Streptomyces, and the tree also showed that new scab-causing Streptomyces spp or not yet named species of Streptomyces are existed in Jeju Island, Korea.
