Abstract

The article presents results of studies on development of isolation scheme and bacteriological identification of Pseudomonas syringae bacteria and its approbation. The introduction of the article describes the objects of Pseudomonas syringae contamination - fruit trees and shrubs, agricultural plants, which proves the relevance of the research in the field of expanding of laboratory methods for identifying phytopathogenic microorganisms. The author’s bacteriological scheme includes the use of King B Medium (Pseudomonas F Agar; Pronadisa 1532) as a selective medium. Initially, the isolated bacteria are differentiated to Pseudomonas genus, the following paramters are studied: anaerobic fermentation, production of enzymes catalase, lecithinase, lipase; hydrolysis of starch and gelatin; fermentation of glucose and lactose, also, a test for maceration is put. The second stage of the research includes the study of the growth of bacterial cultures on meat-and-peptone agar at 41 ° C and at 5% of NaCl; oxidase production, arginine hydrolase; fermentation of mannose and sorbitol; formation of levan, hydrogen sulfide and indole, esculin, a hypersensitivity reaction is set. The determined parametres allow to type the representatives of the genus to Pseudomonas syringae species within 192 hours. During the research, a collection of 12 strains of Pseudomonas syringae bacteria was formed, isolated from 97 objects of phytosanitary supervision and identified according to the developed technique. The proposed bacteriological scheme allows to differentiate the above microorganisms on the basis of the analysis of 25 parameters. The application of a phage biological product as a diagnosticum (according to the Otto method) expands the spectrum of the analyzed biological properties of the isolated and identified Pseudomonas syringae bacteria.
