N. Matsuyama et al., RAPID EXTRACTION HPLC AS A TOOL FOR PRESUMPTIVE IDENTIFICATION OF BURKHOLDERIA-GLADIOLI, B-GLUMAE AND B-PLANTARII CAUSAL AGENTS OF VARIOUS RICE DISEASES, Journal of the Faculty of Agriculture, Kyushu University, 42(3-4), 1998, pp. 265-272
Rapid extraction-HPLC was performed to estimate its usefulness for pre
sumptive identification of Burkholderia gladioli, B. glumae and B. pla
ntarii. On HPLC chromatograms of 12 isolates of B. gladioli, a distinc
t peak appeared at Rt 6.2 min without exception. This peak was absent
on the chromatograms for 18 isolates of B. glumae and 5 isolates of B.
plantarii tested. Benchmark peak at Rt 3.2 min was observed on the ch
romatogram of B. plantarii, Together with the direct colony TLC method
, this simplified HPLC analysis will be useful for identification of p
hytopathogenic bacteria.
