Abstract
Agrobacterium radiobacter strains K84, K1026 and K84 Agr‐ produced in vitro an antibiotic‐like substance (ALS 84), different from agrocin 84 and observed in mannitol‐glutamate medium. Twenty five out of 39 A. tumefaciens strains of biovars 1, 2 and 3 were sensitive to ALS 84 regardless of their sensitivity to agrocin 84. Sensitivity in A. tumefaciens strain C58 was not encoded by the Ti‐plasmid. Most isolates tested of Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora E. carotovora subsp. atroseptica, Pseudomonas corrugata P. cichorii and unidentified isolates from galls were also sensitive to this substance. ALS 84 was not affected by the proteases studied, nor by treatment at 62°C for 30 min and had a bacteriostatic effect. The production of ALS 84 might play a role in the complex mechanism of biological control of crown gall, especially in strains resistant to agrocin 84 and sensitive to ALS 84, and by the creation of an ecological niche favourable to A. radiobacter strains K84, K1026 or K84 Agr‐.Keywords
