Epiphytic growth of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv.citri on Mexican lime leaves.
Bacterial suspensions (OD620 = 0.3) were sprayed on the leaves of Mexican lime plants in a greenhouse. Bacterial populations were determined by homogenizing the leaves in Milli-Q water followed by dilution and plating at 0, 1, 2, 4, and 6 days post-inoculation. All experiments were performed three times with similar results. The results shown are the means and standard deviations (error bars) of triplicates from one representative experiment.
