Identification and Characterization of Bacterial Agents Causing Moderate Damage and Souring of the Fig Fruits

In order to determine the factors of decay and sourness fig fruits, in summer 2016-17, 60 leaf, fruit stem samples from different regions Tehran, Varamin (Qal'e No), Mazandaran (Amol, Noor Sari), Lorestan Iran a branch sample Italy were collected. We obtained 30 isolates sample. The pathogenicity confirmed by artificially inoculation using fruits. They also characterized based on key phenotypic traits. All showed hypersensitivity reaction tobacco, pelargonium did not show potato tubers. 16S rRNA gene 10 representative sequenced. Ten identified as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, fulva, Brevibacterium linens, fragi, Bacillus licheniformis, paralicheniformis cereus determined sequences. None caused rot but typical disease symptoms observed leaves This is first report presence pathogenic bacteria trees Iran.
