Abstract

Bacterial soft rot was occurred on fruit of pepper that was grown in Chunceon, Kangwon province, Korea. The symptoms began as a small hole at 5 mm diameter, which made injury by a tobacco bud worm (Heliothis assulta). The affected fruit became soft and produced offensive odor. The causal organism was isolated from the diseased fruit and was identified as Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora based on the morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics, and on the results of the Biolog program (Biolog Inc., U. S. A.). E. carotovora subsp. carotovora is the first described bacterium which causes bacterial soft rot on pepper in Korea.
