Biochemical characteristics of Enterobacter agglomerans and related strains found in buckwheat seeds
1996
Iimura, K. | Hosono, A.
Thirty strains of bacteria were randomly isolated and identified from buckwheat seeds. The phenotypic characteristics of these steins agree well with those of the Enterobacter agglomerans-Erwinia herbicola complex. On the basis of the difference in indole production and gas production from D-glucose, the isolates were divided into 3 phenotypic groups, viz. I, II and III. Twenty two strains were in phenotypic group I, which is negative for indole production and gas production from D-glucose, and resembles Pantoea agglomerans. All six strains in phenotypic group II, which is positive for indole production and negative for gas production from D-glucose, were identified as Erwinia ananas. Two strains in phenotypic group III, which is negative for indole production and positive for gas production from D-glucose, were identified as Rahnella aquatilis.
