Abstract:
The Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. Citri causing bacterial canker of acid lime was isolated from different acid lime growing locations of Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra State and were used for these tests. Biochemical tests and Cultural characteristics viz., colony shape, margin, elevations and pigmentation help to identification of bacteria. In biochemical tests Gram staining, Potassium hydroxide (KOH) test, Catalase test, Starch hydrolysis test were performed to characterize the Xac. Different ten test isolates were studied using NA as basal culture medium. The results of all morphological, biochemical and cultural tests were confirmed the Xac a Gram-negative bacterium.
