| pubmed-article:1087859 | pubmed:abstractText | Morphological, biochemical and serological features of eleven Erwinia salicis isolates were examined. Three groups were demonstrated, one of which comprises the Dutch isolates. Serological techniques proved to be a valuable addition to conventional plating techniques for detecting the pathogen. Willow wood extract with 5% sucrose, 0.06% "Lab Lemco" broth and 1.5% agar appeared to be a suitable medium for the isolation of E. salicis, because of its selectivity. | lld:pubmed |
