Classification of strains of Xanthomonas oryzae on the basis of their susceptibility against bacteriophage

Bacteriophage의 감수성에 의한 수도백엽고병균의 계통분류

1. The 30 isolates of Xanthomonas oryzae collected from various places in Korea were classified into 2 strains in A' and B, by the 4 kinds of Japanese bacteriophages as follow; A' strain; Susceptible to $OP_1$ and $OP_2$ but not to $OP_1h$ and $OP_1h_2$. B strain; Susceptible to $OP_1h$, $OP_1h_2$ and $OP_2$ but not to $OP_1$. Of these bacterial strains, A' strain, a little different to A strain in Japan, was susceptible to $OP_1h_2$, while A' strain was resistant to $OP_1h_2$, 2. A' strain was widely and commonly distributed throughout this country, In geographical distribution, it was generally known that A' strain was distributed in south of Kyunggi-Do, whereas B strain was distributed north of Suwon area. 3. No specific tendency was found in the distribution of these strains in same variety.

(1) 한국각지에서 분리한 수도백엽고병균 30균주를 일본의 4계통의 Bacteriophage를 공시하여 분류하여 본 결과 A' 및 B계통의 다음 2종류로 분류하였다. A' 계통 $OP_1$ 및 $OP_2$에 감수성이나 $OP_1h$, $OP_1h_2$에는 저항성이었다. B계통 : $OP_1h$, $OP_1h_2$ 및 $OP_2$ 감수성이나 $OP_1$에 저항성이었다. A'계통은 $OP_1_2$에 저항성이나 일본의 A 계통은 $OP_1h_2$에도 감수성이었다는 점이 상이하였다. (2) A' 계통균이 국내에 가장 널리 분포하고 있었으며, 계통간의 지역별분포상황은A'계통균이 경기이남에 않았으나 B 계통균은 수원 및 그 이북지방에 분포하고 있었다. (3) 동일품종간에 있어 균의 계통분포는 균일성이 없었다.
