Phylogenetic differentiation of Streptomyces spp. isolated from potato scab lesions in Jeju island of Korea on the basis of 16S rRNA gene sequences = 제주도 감자 더뎅이병징에서 분리된 Streptomyces spp.의 16S rRNA 유전자 염기서열 분석

Abstract

Potato scab is prevalent in all potato-growing areas of Jeju Island and causes economically significant losses. Streptomyces species are known as pathogens of potato scab. In this study, we analyzed the 16S rRNA sequences of Streptomyces spp, which are isolated from potato scab lesions in Jeju Island, and constructed 16S rRNA phylogenetic tree. All isolates were clearly differentiated into the genus Streptomyces, and the tree also showed that new scab-causing Streptomyces spp or not yet named species of Streptomyces are existed in Jeju Island, Korea.
